THE DAYES of WYOMING is a historic novel featuring horse trainer,
Bertha and mountain man, Charlie Daye. Their adventures take place
during the late 1800s to early 1900s in northern Wyoming, from
Johnson County, east of the Bighorns, to Yellowstone, west of the
Continental Divide. This was an exciting time of change in Wyoming:
Wyoming Territory was admitted into the Union; the end of the
trappers' rendezvous precipitated a decline in the fur trade and
mountain men; Wyoming's Civil War took place east of the Bighorns
in Johnson County; with Yellowstone recently declared a national
park, Cody became a thriving community as its eastern entrance; and
work began on the Shoshone Dam, later known as the Buffalo Bill Dam
and Reservoir. Hundreds of thousands of bison no longer dotted the
Wyoming landscape and their disappearance was soon followed by the
extinction of wolves and severely diminished herds of wild
mustangs. Bertha and Charlie Daye experienced it all, and more . .
. from guiding eastern guests into remote mountain paradises,
rounding up wild horses, and riding in thrilling overland horse
races, to adopting children who traveled west on one of the famous
Orphan Trains.
