Happier Man in Wyoming After Homestead Fight
John Hakala once worked the coal mine at Glenrock and became a farmer in Deer Creek valley. His homestead faced eviction when a sheep stockholders’ corporation claimed the land. Senator Clark and Commissioner Tallman had the tract re surveyed to protect Hakala’s improvements. He remains a symbol of resilience as the legal struggle ends with his home and cultivated acres restored.
