Wyoming Fifty Years as State Highlighted by Stamp
Elmo Scott Watson notes Wyoming's 50th state anniversary is marked by a commemorative postage stamp. The piece traces Wyoming’s history from Lewis and Clark’s era to Red Cloud’s War, the cattle era, women’s suffrage, and Owen Wister, whose Virginian helped shape the cowboy image associated with the state.
