Roadside History of Wyoming
The vast expanses of Wyoming’s seemingly empty landscapes belie the turbulent events and colorful characters that make up the state’s rich past. Roadside History of Wyoming explores the people who made history and what they did to merit remembrance. Well-researched, well-told stories are set against the dramatic backdrop of the land itself to reveal how Wyoming’s natural environment affected human activity through time.
To know Wyoming is to experience its physical presence, and there’s no better way to do that than by driving its roads and learning its history. This telling of Wyoming history goes beyond typical episodes of male-dominated politics and economics. Here the social fabric of the state is exposed in an array of intricate colors and patterns — women, Native Americans, and a surprising assortment of minorities figure prominently is this history of the Cowboy State.

She was an expectant mother, but she endured every hardship these seasoned soldiers experienced. Without her the Corps of Discovery would have failed. This program re-enacts her journey in her own words. Taken captive as a child during a raid, adopted into the tribe of her captors, and then married off, her adventures have only just begun. After Lewis & Clark journey to her village on assignment from President Jefferson, Sacagawea joins the expedition in seeking a northwest passage to the sea. Digging up edible roots and negotiating for horses, she saves the Corps of Discovery, time and time again.
With live-action cinematography, the Lewis & Clark journey is beautifully reenacted. The program carefully traces the journey from St. Louis to Fort Mandan in North Dakota, over the Rockies to the Pacific and back. This is the Lewis & Clark journey, in her words.
Extra Feature
The Living Legacy of Lewis & Clark
They Shaped America. Through thousands of miles of raw wilderness on their voyage of discovery, the Captains touch on areas that are national parks today. One of those parks is counted among the natural wonders of the world. In these natural parks, we see the untamed, unspoiled America that they saw. Here, we make our own voyage of discovery.
Sacagawea’s Son – The Life of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau
Sacagawea’s Son: The Life of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau is the exciting, surprising, and sometimes poignant story of a boy born to adventure. At the age of two months, Baptiste experienced the first of many exploits when his parents, the Shoshoni woman Sacagawea and French Canadian trapper Toussaint Charbonneau, took him along on Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery expedition. Captain Clark called him Pomp, “my little dancing boy.” Many people have heard of baby Pomp and his famous journey, but the rest of his life story has been largely untold — until now.
Educated in St. Louis by Captain Clark, Baptiste went on to live in a royal palace in Europe and to speak many languages. Returning to the United States, he headed west to become a mountain man and scout alongside Jim Beckwourth, Thomas Fitzpatrick, Jim Bridger, and Kit Carson. During America’s war with Mexico, he helped lead the Mormon Battalion to California, where he later became a prospector during the gold rush.

Savage Model 1895, 1899, & 99 Rifles – Volume 2 – Engraved and Special Feature Models
Author of the definitive A Collector’s Guide to the Savage 99 Rifle and Its Predecessors, the Model 1895 and 1899, David Royal now presents the beautiful and elaborately engraved variants of the 99. Although widely perceived as utilitarian, Savage’s Models 1895, 1899, and 99 were often ornamented by gifted artisans. Nine of Savage’s first model, the 1895, were manufactured by Marlin and engraved by their in-house engraver, Conrad Ulrich. Photographs of six of these rifles are included, along with an extensive biography of the Ulrich family of engravers. The Model 1899s were engraved by Enoch Tue and featured a great variety of engraving and a long list of other enhancements. This is considered the heyday of engraved Savages, and all of Tue’s styles are covered here. The Model 99s were available with engraving sporadically until the end of Savage 99 production, and these later iterations are also discussed in detail.

Seaman was the dog that accompanied Lewis & Clark on their expedition to the west.
He originally purchased by Meriwether Lewis for $20 in 1803.
Seaman served as a hunter, retriever, early warning system against Grizzly bears, guard dog and faithful companion to Lewis and Clark.
He measures 6″ from nose to tail. Comes with makeshift collar with his name.
Alfred Jacob Miller (1810-1874) was the first artist to journey into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. He did so as the commissioned expedition artist for William Drummond Stewart (1795-1871), a Scottish nobleman and veteran of a five-year hunting tour in America. Their destination would be the annual fur traders’ rendezvous at Horse Creek, near the present-day border of Idaho and Wyoming.
“This book will set a new scholarly standard for monographs on western art,” said William H. Truettner, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and one of the leading scholars in America on western art. “It will bring to the study of western-art patronage a refinement few others in the field have even approached.”
