Abstract

As Wyoming began its second century of statehood in 1991, Lewis L. Gould's Wyoming: From Territory to Statehood remained an important examination of the state's history and current condition. Originally published in 1968 by the Yale University Press under the title of Wyoming: A Political History, 1868-1896, Gould explores both the early political history of Wyoming and the origin of its often tenuous relationship with the federal government.
