Although dramatic incidents and changes occurred in Wyoming from time to time during its territorial and statehood years into the 1960âs, the state remained preeminently a cattlemenâs domain and tourist mecca. Then the world energy crisis greatly enhanced the value of these stateâs vast reserves of oil, gas, uranium, and coal. Unprecedented growth resulted (the state was losing population in 1965, when the first edition of this book was published), bringing expanded payrolls and wealth on the one hand and serious problems on the other as developers and environmentalists competed for control of Wyomingâs future.
Incorporating new chapters on the stateâs abrupt turnaround from âthe lonesome landâ to an important national center of energy development, this edition continues to emphasize political, economic, and social history and to offer new interpretations and information. Examining the great changes of the 1970âs, Larson concludes that trade-offs and compromises are inevitable, major decisions lie ahead, and itâs an exciting and challenging era for Wyoming citizens.
