State of Wyoming Public sites:
State of Wyoming: Official site of the state, good source of online services and information. http://wyoming.gov/
Department of Natural Resources: The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has roots all the way back to the 1890's. This period in our history marks a major decline in the population of wild game in the state of Wyoming due to unlimited harvesting practices used by settlers. During that decade, the positions of State Fish Warden (1890) and State Game Warden (1899) were established to protect Wyoming's wildlife from dangers of over harvesting. These positions were dedicated to the replenishment of the wildlife in the area. http://gf.state.wy.us/
Tourism: Official Wyoming Tourism website. Excerpt from website: http://www.wyomingtourism.org/
"Wyoming is often called the first state in outdoor America. From the thrill seeker to the nature lover, Wyoming has something to please everyone. We’ve got two fantastic National Parks and a dozen State Parks. Try your hand at running the Snake River on a commercial float trip, herding cattle in the Big Horn Mountains, biking in the Snowy Range, climbing the Tetons or stargazing in the Red Desert. Name an outdoor activity and it's probably done here! You can hike, backpack, fly-fish. Try wildlife photography or birdwatching. Head out on your own or with equipment and guides ready to serve you. Go rock climbing, kayaking, snowboarding, parasailing, hang gliding, windsurfing, jet skiing or spelunking just a few of the outdoor activities to enjoy in Wyoming."
State Parks: Wyoming has always been a passage way across the continent; from Native American trade routes, to emigrant trails, to the building of the transcontinental railroad, to modern interstate highways, the state continues to be a transportation corridor for our nation. The collections provide a tangible link to individuals and groups who crossed the landscape. Photographs, diaries, artifacts, documents, and scrapbooks all help to build a rich appreciation of our history. http://wyoparks.state.wy.us/index1.htm

Historical information about Wyoming
Motto: Equal Rights
Excerpt from the Wyoming Librarians goWYLD.net website: http://gowyld.net/wyoming/history.html
" There is evidence of more than 12,000 years of prehistoric occupation in Wyoming. Among these groups were Clovis, 12,000 years ago, Folsom, 10,000 years ago, and Eden Valley, 8,000 years ago. The latter were the big game hunters of the Early period. Following these, and remaining until about 500 A.D., were many groups with a mixed hunting and gathering economy. These were followed by the predecessors of the historic Indians. On the crest of Medicine Mountain, 40 miles east of Lovell, Wyoming, is located the Medicine Wheel which has 28 spokes and a circumference of 245 feet. This was an ancient shrine built of stone by the hands of some forgotten tribe. A Crow chief has been reputed as saying, "It was built before the light came by people who had no iron." This prehistoric relic still remains one of Wyoming's unsolved puzzles...." (click link for full text)
