Situated atop the Rocky Mountains, the Laramie Plains are a sprawling prairie known for being one of the highest plateaus over 7,000 feet in elevation globally. These plains embody the quintessential landscape of the Great Plains, set against the iconic blue skies of Wyoming, a name derived from the Native American word for “Great Plains.”
Historically, the Laramie Plains have been a favored rendezvous for both Native Americans and settlers, drawn by the revitalizing air and abundant natural resources such as game, fur, minerals, and livestock.
The history of this region reflects the full spectrum of human nature, encompassing both virtues and vices. The pioneering spirit has always driven its inhabitants, influencing the authors, who belong to the second generation after the original settlers. Raised among these early ranches, the authors have been imbued with this pioneering ethos from a young age.
Wyoming’s Pioneer Ranches aims to capture the essence of the people who shaped the Laramie Plains. It portrays their courage and cowardice, faith and skepticism, vision and blindness, responsibility and recklessness, humility and pride, kindness and cruelty, fortune and misfortune, competence and ineptitude. If this narrative manages to convey these diverse human experiences, then it will have successfully used the authors’ inherent talents to chronicle the history of one of Wyoming’s and the West’s significant natural landscapes. The saying “Grass Makes Wyoming and Wyoming is the West” captures the essence of this unique region.
