Wednesday in Wyoming - July 26, 2023

 

Does this look like a scene you might find on the cover of one of my books? It's actually part of Fort D.A. Russell Days, one of the many events that occur during Cheyenne Frontier Days.

Fort D.A. Russell, which is now F.E. Warren Air Force Base, was established at the same time as the city and, as you might expect from the length of time it's been here, has a storied past. Some of that comes alive during the popular historic homes tour sponsored by the Warren Spouses Club. 

The year I took the tour, one of the stops was at the Etiquette House, where we learned about nineteenth century etiquette. It was great research!
