Customer Reviews

Wyoming!

As you travel the highways of Wyoming, it is great to have a reference that provides you with the history of the towns that you pass. This book contains interesting facts regarding the naming of the towns and the people who shaped the west.

Excellent reference

A Roadside History of Wyoming (Paperback) by Candy Moulton -- Excellent reference book, great for general reading and for travelers. As a scholar who has written much, including a thesis and dissertation, the lack of proper references bothered me. This made the book great reading, but of limited value toward further research. As a Roadside reference -- the stated intention of the book -- it meets its goal and is very well done. Kudos to the author. I enjoyed the book very much.
