The faded pencil script spelled out rough poems, descriptions of sunsets and hangings, saloon scenes, cowboy tall tales, the wide-open prairie and the sharp retort of the gun.
From Owen Wister’s pen, the cowboy myth was born and became a true relic of Wyoming’s rich past.
For over 65 years, Owen Wister's journals lay forgotten - until a stubborn librarian from the University of Wyoming insisted they existed. Today, thanks to his persistence, the journals have been found and now reside at the American Heritage Center in Laramie, Wyoming for future generations!
