There is an old saying that the Powder River was �a mile wide; an inch deep; too thick to drink; too thin to plow;� and yet it was fought over many times in the early settlement of northeastern Wyoming. The lure of free land attracted tough pioneer families and rowdy outlaws to the new town of Gillette. Bars and brothels competed with schools and churches for the cowboys of some of the largest cattle and sheep ranches in the state. The coal that was discovered close to the surface; which first supplied settlers through blizzards and prairie winds; now provides one-third of the nation�s energy. Ranching is still important in Gillette�s economy but the abundant minerals have truly put Gillette; Wyoming; on the map.

Not all that cleverBy Jim HallTherersquo;s not too much substance to this short book. and frankly. many of the ideas presented arenrsquo;t really all that clever. It was not a complete waste of time ndash; I did kind of like the idea of taking a ldquo;picture trailrdquo; of your route or around your town. for instance. Other than that. though. there isnt much that is helpful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Half goodBy Larry FitzpatrickThe first half was good. Man y photography ideas.
