Author Kurt James over the years has complied a vast knowledge of the state of Wyoming. Wyoming was nicknamed the "Equality State" or as some like to call it the "Cowboy State." In the beginning, he used these historical and fun facts to be weaved into his fictional adventure stories of forever blue skies and dusty frontiers, bringing authenticity to his novels. Recently Kurt James fan base has been asking for him to make available his research in book form so they can even learn more about Wyoming. This book is the effort of many years of study, investigation, and exploring the Rocky Mountains, ghost towns, and long forgotten cemeteries. Kurt James has also held countless interviews with many of those quoted within these pages. Many of the photographs and artwork used in this book are Kurt James originals. This book is the companion of any writer that needs information about Wyoming for their writing needs. It is also Kurt's hope that those that love the tales of yesteryear will use this book as part of the research for their day trips or vacations to the ghost towns and haunts mentioned in the book.
