A Wyoming historian shares an in-depth look at the historic storm and its devastating aftermath through the stories of those who survived. The Blizzard of 1949 took Wyoming and neighboring states by surprise. In January of that year, snow, wind and frigid temperatures devastated the northern plains. The storm stranded hundreds of motorists on the highways and stalled nearly two dozen trains at depots throughout the state. For nearly two months, towns and ranches were marooned by enormous drifts, some reportedly eighty feet tall. Communities pulled together to assist not only their neighbors but also anyone unable to escape the snowstorm. Drawing on meticulous research and numerous in-person interviews, author and historian James Fuller recounts these harrowing stories of tenacity and fortitude.

The blizzards that devastated the West eventually ended when every farmer and rancher in need of bulldozer crews had received the required assistance. Life began to return to normal for the people who experienced the extreme hardships evident throughout that infamous winter, but the effects remained in the consciousness of the leaders who had to react to those challenges. One reason the blizzards of 1949 devastated the West was because state and federal governments had no methodical approach to deal with natural disasters. They could not offer an organized response to national emergencies in which local, county, and state governments required assistance to save livestock and human residents. After these blizzards, authorities began to implement changes to disaster response and fundamental changes appeared in the following decades.Citizens, soldiers, and federal contractors worked to end the ordeal of the blizzards, quickly opening routes throughout the region. State and federal road crews liberated many farmers and ranchers, who quickly went to grocery stores for the first time in weeks or months to restock their food shelves. Newspapers across the country reported when portions of the affected states were finally free to leave their isolated homes. The folks who witnessed the blizzards of 1949 still remember them, and newspapers routinely commemorate the event on relevant anniversaries. In the end, however, the importance of the blizzard conditions as examined here are not the misery they inflicted on the populace, not the stories of heroism or heartbreak, but the snapshot in time the affair provides the reader today.

"GEORGIA JIPP: BLIZZARD PILOT is about a courageous twenty-two-year-old airplane pilot who earned her pilot's license as a teenager, and risked her life to fly mercy missions in South Dakota during the devastating winter of 1949. From January 2 through January 5, a record-breaking blizzard isolated farmers, ranchers, and animals. Georgia flew from dawn to dusk for days, delivering desperately needed food, fuel, and hay. When further storms and blizzards struck, Georgia partnered with the American Red Cross to fly many more life-saving missions. The situation became so dire that the National Guard brought in snowplows and M-29 cargo carriers called Weasels to rescue people and provide supplies. Civilians and military used bulldozers and amphibious vehicles to clear snow. The Airforce launched Operation Haylift using C-47 and C-48 cargo planes to drop tons of supplies for families and bales of hay for livestock. President Truman ordered Operation Snowbound, in which the Army, Air Force, Navy, American Red Cross, and Civil Air Patrol cleared snow and dropped tons of hay and other provisions, saving millions of sheep and cattle. The storm area included South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, and California. The winter of 1948-1949, which affected approximately 1.2 million people in a disaster area of 193,000 square miles, ranks among the harshest on record. At the book's conclusion, readers will be surprised to learn that Georgia Jipp was featured in several newspapers across the nation. Moreover, they will be delighted to learn that Georgia Jipp flew more mercy missions than any other pilot in South Dakota"--

Wyoming might be known as the least populous state, but this land of mountains and prairies is home to enough history to provide an entertaining footnote for each day of the year. On September 6, 1870, Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote, and on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first National Park. JCPenney opened its doors in Kemmerer on April 14, 1902, while May 1, 1883, marks Buffalo Bill Cody's very first Wild West Show. Join Pat Holscher on a day-by-day look at some of the Equality State's most fascinating factoids.

Introducing Wyoming’s Sheriff Walt Longmire in this riveting first Longmire novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr and Robert B. Parker will love this outstanding first novel, in which New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson introduces Sheriff Walt Longmire of Wyoming’s Absaroka County. Johnson draws on his deep attachment to the American West to produce a literary mystery of stunning authenticity, and full of memorable characters. After twenty-five years as sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt Longmire’s hopes of finishing out his tenure in peace are dashed when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Two years earlier, Cody has been one of four high school boys given suspended sentences for raping a local Cheyenne girl. Somebody, it would seem, is seeking vengeance, and Longmire might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 rifle. With lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear, Deputy Victoria Moretti, and a cast of characters both tragic and humorous enough to fill in the vast emptiness of the high plains, Walt Longmire attempts to see that revenge, a dish best served cold, is never served at all.

A Christmas novella for fans of the hit drama series LONGMIRE now on Netflix and the New York Times–bestselling series. Craig Johnson's new novel, The Western Star, will be available from Viking in Fall 2017. Sheriff Walt Longmire is in his office reading A Christmas Carol when he is interrupted by a ghost of Christmas past: a young woman with a hairline scar and more than a few questions about his predecessor, Lucian Connally. With his daughter Cady and undersherrif Moretti otherwise engaged, Walt’s on his own this Christmas Eve, so he agrees to help her. At the Durant Home for Assisted Living, Lucian is several tumblers into his Pappy Van Winkle’s and swears he’s never clapped eyes on the woman before. Disappointed, she whispers “Steamboat” and begins a story that takes them all back to Christmas Eve 1988—a story that will thrill and delight the bestselling series’ devoted fans.
