Eden Valley Voices

In our quest to listen to stories and collect documents, photographs, and oral histories something amazing happened. We began hearing voices, Eden Valley voices. We heard these voices when we were on field trips around the Valley or when we recorded oral history interviews. You will hear those voices speaking from the pages of this book bring Eden Valley's uniquely western story alive. |

History of the Union Pacific Coal Mines 1869 to 1940 |
Much of the history of the coal fields of southern Wyoming took place out of sight--beneath the grey soil of this high, desert land. Daily its people would pour into the dark voids of the coal mines to extract the fuel to run railroads, heat houses and power factories of America. This reprint of a 1940 history of the Union Pacific Coal Company tells the story of these workers and their families who made homes and hometowns in this forbidding land. |

Wild
Horses: A Spirit Unbroken |
Wild Horses exist in as diverse and hostile locations as the arid deserts of India and the remote sandbanks of Sable Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. This book traces their origins and explains how geographic history and crossbreeding have influenced their development and provided the variety of breeds that now exist worldwide. Excellent photography catches many of the breeds and their habitats in vivid color. |
