OK, Here is the next question.

Name Wyoming's first millionaire.

What was his nickname?

Name 2 geographical features that are named after him.?

[Zearxx]

William Alexander Carter was nicknamed "Mr. Fort Bridger."
One place named after him was Carter, just north of Fort Bridger.
Another one was Carter Mountain next to Cody, Wyoming.

Good job Zearxx. You are correct.
If you didn't notice, Zearxx and I joined in April. He is my son. When I discovered this site, I encouraged him to join.
Your turn to ask the next question Zearxx.

[Zearxx]

What hotel (In Wyoming, established in 1902) was named after a famous person's child?

Would that be the Irma Hotel in Cody named after Buffalo Bill's daughter?

[Zearxx]

Good job. I used to live in Cody, and I went there to eat ever so often. Your turn

Welcome to both of you! You'll find a lot of interesting stuff about Wyoming on this thread. Hopefully you'll be able to go through it over the next few months and see what's been written before (maybe you've already done so).

I have learned a lot about the state, and continue to do so every time I read the new posts on this thread.

It's good to have you both on the forum.

Once again, Welcome!

According to the state seal what are the 4 major industries of Wyoming?

[Poletop]

Good question. Oil, mines, livestock and grain.


The Secretary of State is the Custodian of the Great Seal. The signature of the Governor, the certifying signature of the Secretary of State and the impression of the Great Seal represent the authority and sovereignty of the State of Wyoming.

The two dates on the Great Seal, 1869 and 1890, commemorate the organization of the Territorial government and Wyoming's admission into the Union. The woman in the center holds a banner proclaiming "Equal Rights," Wyoming having been the first government to grant equal civil and political rights to women. The male figures typify the livestock and mining industries of the state. Upon a five-pointed star the number "44" appears, being the number of admission into the Union. On top of the pillars rest lamps from which burn the Light of Knowledge. Scrolls encircling the two pillars bear the words "Oil," "Mines," "Livestock" and "Grain," four of Wyoming's major industries.

In this trivia, does a person have to wait for approval from the person asking the question?

Hope not.

Here is my next question.

This event below was scheduled to happen on the 8th of May 1869. (Not in Wyoming). What was the reason this event was postponed until the 10th of May, and where in Wyoming was the delay?
