4.9/5 (32924 ratings)

Description:The Medicine Bows tells the 8,500-year story of a mountainous region rich in the history of the Plains Indians, mountain men, tie hacks and early forest rangers. The Medicine Bow Mountains and surrounding area were an important fur trade center and one of the last refuges of the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux Indians. Individuals like William Ashley, Jim Bridger, and John Fremont led the early explorations of the region. With arrival of overwhelming numbers of settlers, the area played an important role in the development of the Overland Stage and emigrant route and the first trans-continental railroad and telegraph. The significance of the Medicine Bow region in the history of Wyoming and Western America is tied to its abundant natural resources in close proximity to major nineteenth century migration routes. Although logging, grazing and limited mining are still conducted in the Medicine Bow National Forest, emphasis has shifted in recent times to its recreational value. The high mountain lakes and streams, rugged rocky peaks and endless vistas of forest and plain provide the last refuge -- a physical and psychological release from twentieth century pressures -- a place the early natives, explorers and mountain men might still recognize.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
