Wyoming Trivia (Renamed) (Sheridan, Jackson, Fairview: oriental, visiting, travel to)

At Tie-Down Hill, on the east bank of the Big Horn River, lived "Tie-Down" Brown, so named for his agility in tying down and branding other ranchers' calves-for himself. In 1880 Brown's partner killed him with an axe, and his ghost, it was said, rode up and down the hill waiting for vengeance.

His partners name was Enas and he hit him in the head with the axe. Enas escaped and was never found again.

Very good, Your turn, and Welcome to Wyoming Trivia

At the mouth of this gulch lived a man nicknamed "Tie Down," because of his swiftness in throwing and tying down calves. He lived in a sod house. One day trouble came between him and his friend Mr. Enas. Enas and Tie Down got into a scuffle with Enas splitting Tie Down's head open with an*axe. Enas escaped and was never found. Time passed and Tie Down's body was later found. It is believed that his ghost haunts the flats. The*flat*is*very steep and the road was steep going in and out of it. Stage Drivers would camp at the gulch because it was a shelter from any wind or storm. After Tie Down was killed, the drivers or any other person camping there at night imagined they could hear the chains on Tie Down’s mules as he drove through the*flat trying to find Enas and avenge himself. They naturally referred to as Tie Down Flats.

The song Ragtime Cowboy Joe?

Myspace Player

"Ragtime Cowboy Joe" is also the school song of the University of Wyoming. The version of the song appropriated by Wyoming includes lyrics adjusted to represent the school's location, a stands cheer that occurs during a drum break, and a repeat of the verse commonly follows.
He always sings Raggity music to the cattle, As he swings Back and forward in the saddle, On a horse; (Pretty good horse!) He's got a syncopated gaiter, And you ought to hear the meter To the roar of his repeater! How they run (Yes, Run!) When they hear him 'a-comin', 'Cause the western folks all know, he's A high-falootin', rootin-tootin', Son-of-a-gun from ol' Wyoming Ragtime Cowboy! Talk about your Cowboy! Ragtime Cowboy Joe!

According to this page: Wyoming Mountain Peaks & Summits

Wyoming has 2,174 mountain peaks to choose from

The county with the largest number of peaks is Fremont.

Wyoming provided the 2010 Christmas tree for the Nations Capitol.

A 67-foot-tall Englemann spruce from northwest Wyoming has arrived in Washington, D.C., to be this year's U.S. Capitol Christmas tree.

It will be decorated with ornaments made by Wyoming residents, and the lights will be switched on Dec. 7. It's the first time the Capitol tree has come from Wyoming.

A search began a year ago in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and the Capitol superintendent of grounds made his choice in July. It was felled in November and loaded on a truck for a winding journey of nearly 5,000 miles with stops for 35 community celebrations.

Wyoming also provided "75 accompanying trees to be displayed throughout the Capitol complex".

1,000 Wyoming students provided christmas ornaments for the tree and participated in a drawing, the winner of which was selected to _________________________________.
