The West Is Calling
While spending a year as a cowboy, Elliott Perkins wrote letters home to his parents in Massachusetts. His letters from December 1918 beautifully illustrate what this 17 year old boy's first Christmas season away from home was like.
October 7, 2021 will mark the 100th anniversary of Undersheriff William McPherren's death in the line of duty. He deserves a headstone.
Cameran Garbutt and Annie May Loucks were wed on this day in 1889.

“I had a great time learning about the area. I was intreged with the history of the area. I didn't realize coal was such a big part of the areas history. Liked the Indian battle panaramic. I spent 2 hrs there but it can be toured in about an hour if you don't have to many interests in the area.”
“Out with friends. Enjoyed seeing the museum and the conference meet and greet on the deck. Beautiful view of the mountains.”
