A history of Laramie and promotion for the surrounding country, with much information about its virtues, attributes, Black Hills mining, and more. The last third of the pamphlet is devoted to a terse directory noting name, residence, race, and occupation or residents. There are also advertisements for many local merchants throughout. This is the first directory for any part of Wyoming, and one of the first book-length works published there. Triggs' publications are outstanding early Wyoming promotional pieces. "A history of the region from the day of first settlement, in April of 1868. Recognized by students of Western History as probably the best, most honest and outspoken, most bluntly written and vivid description extant of the early and turbulent days. Triggs describes the horde that first came in, as made up of one-fifth honest and daring men, the balance 'were gamblers, thieves, highwaymen, robbers, cut-throats, garroters, prostitutes, and their necessary companions.' The narrative describes the ensuing mass-meeting to form a government; its organization and collapse; the reign of violence; the formation of the Vigilance Committee and the hangings; its degeneration into a Reign of Vengeance; the final creation of legal government; the battles between the Vigilantes and the new police, and succeeding events, until finally the Territorial legislature in desperation, took away the city's charter, and put the community under the jurisdiction of the Federal courts"Eberstadt. This copy is associated with one of Laramie's prominent early families, the Downeys. The custom red leather slipcase is stamped in gilt: "In Memoriam Stephen Corlett Downey, Carnegie Public Library Board 1924-1934. Presented by his mother Mrs. Eva Downey." Stephen Wheeler Downey was a Civil War veteran who came to Laramie in 1869 and established himself as a leading lawyer, serving several terms as Council member in the Wyoming Territory legislature, where he voted to sustain women's suffrage and helped found the University of Wyoming. Stephen Corlett Downey was his eldest son, and partnered with him in his practice. Downey Sr.'s law practice is afforded a full-page advertisement on page six of this work, and the directory places his residence at the corner of 2nd and South A streets. An uncommonly clean and appropriately local copy of this important directory.

[WYOMING]. First edition. 8vo. Original blue wrappers printed in black, 91 pp., advertisements scattered throughout. Despite its violent and ugly beginnings, described in detail in the first few pages, Laramie by this time is represented as a well-ordered and prosperous city. Unlike Triggs' other work concerning Cheyenne, this work contains its latter part, being a fascinating 'general directory' of the populace, which captures a valuable snapshot of the residents who comprised the town. Not surprisingly, a large number of them are employed in the building trades or other manual labor. Of equal interest is the fact that a good percentage of the residents are employed by the railroad in such occupations as engineers, brakemen, or firemen. The directory also identifies a few dozen 'colored citizens' who resided there. Almost all were confined to menial jobs such as waiters or cooks. There were also a few women in the more genteel occupations such as dressmakers. Adams Six Guns 2239: "This exceedingly rare imprint gives a frank history of Laramie in its turbulent days and reign of violence." Adams Herd 2332: "Very rare." Eberstadt 136:667h. "A history of the region from the day of first settlement in April of 1868. It has long been recognized by students of western history as probably the most honest, outspoken, and vivid account of the early and turbulent days. Laramie was famous for its disorder, crime and rapid growth Triggs describes the horde that first came in, as made up of one-fifth honest and daring men, the balance 'were gamblers, thieves, highwaymen, robbers, cut-throats, garroters, prostitutes, and their necessary companions.'
