Are`nt they clear? So well taken.
ReplyDeleteSomething about "a Texas Pony" captures my imagination. Little horse, big man. both of 'em tough.
ReplyDeleteI think Livingston was actually a town by 1884.
ReplyDeleteSusan, thanks for raising the (implied) question. See Richard Wheeler's comment below.
DeleteThat appears to be a romanticized drawing of the terrain around Livingston, which began as Clark City in 1882.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. That is the sense I make of the history I've been able to find online.
DeleteI'd want be on that Powell expedition!
ReplyDeleteThe Globe Hotel reminds me of the Cheyenne Social Club movie with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.
