Jody and Froggie provided partial answers but they were not complete.

Poletop provided the most complete answer.

Meeteetse Chocolatier Tim Kellogg might have first gained notoriety because he sold his truffles to fund his rodeoing. Today though, his truffles and chocolates – especially his sea salt caramels – can hold their own against the treats made by the country’s best.

OK, for the next question.

There is a monument located somewhere around 10 miles south of Lusk on the old Cheyenne Trail.

What is the name of the monument and who is recognized on this monument?

George Lathrop has a monument dedicated to him, but it's located 2 miles South of Lusk on Highway 20.

George Lathrop was the last stage coach driver on the Cheyenne-Deadwood stage route. The monument is located at his gravesite.

His prized possession and symbol of his trade was his 20 ft long whip and the first two feet of the handle was incased in silver ferrules.

Then it has to be Feathlegs. Erected (pardon the punn) in 1964. The only monument to a prostitute known to exist in the US.

Again, along the Cheyenne-Deadwood stage route.

Back in 1876, on the Silver Springs Road, near Muskrat Canyon, Charlotte "Mother Featherlegs" Shephard established a saloon and "house of ill-repute.” Though it was really more of a dugout than a "house,” it didn’t stop the many men, lonely for female companionship, from frequenting her establishment.

Her leggings were always frilly.

How's that?

Been busy with a Sheep wagon.

Has a steamboat ever entered Wyoming? If so, where and when?

Yes, The steamboat El Paso traveled up the Platte River in 1851 to the present day location of Guernsey. I believe the captain was Captain "Bill" (WIlliam Rodney Massey).

And by Captain Bill, was deemed too shallow for commercial use.

Great job and quick too. Your turn. Now I can get back to the wagon.
