Wyoming Annotated Bibliography & Selected Collectible Books



The state of Wyoming is filled with national parks, mountains, and vast prairielands, but is the least populous state in the Union. With the land so preserved and untouched, it is home to many national parks. Before these national parks were maps from explorers describing the virgin land and documenting their finds in manuscripts and maps. Early maps command a price of thousands of dollars.

Another unique attribute about the state are the vast miles of railroads. Any documents or memorabilia from railroads through Wyoming, Union Pacific in particular, can be a great treasure for collectors. Also, books by explorers before Wyoming became a part of the United States is sure to be part of any collection.

If one is looking for more books on the history of the state, look no further than the Native American tribes within the state that are still present today. Tribes like Lakota, Shoshone, and Cheyenne have rich and deep histories within the State of Wyoming.
