Before Time Rushed In

Wyoming has always held a special place in my heart. It is one of those rare places that still feels untamed, where the sky stretches without apology and the land remembers everything. If life ever lines up just right, I’d love to settle there, not just visit, but stay and listen to what the wind has to say. In this episode of Dave Does History, we’re heading back to July 25, 1868, when the Territory of Wyoming was officially established. But this story begins long before the ink dried. We’ll explore the ancient peoples who walked this land, the explorers who couldn’t believe what they saw, and the trails that cut through it all. We’ll look at conflict, cattle, and the surprising radicalism of giving women the vote. Wyoming wasn’t born with a bang, but with a slow, stubborn confidence. The kind that still echoes in her canyons today. Let's saddle up.
