A New Beginning (Boom Town Reflections Volume 4) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966029212)

In Boomtown Reflections - Volume 4, New Beginnings, Mark A. Gregg delivers another inciteful view into the Gregg family's foray into the boom town of Wheatland, Wyoming. Wheatland, Wyoming was a town of less than 2,000 people when Basin Electric Power Cooperative chose it for the construction of the mighty Laramie River Power Station. It was a massive 1650 megawatt, coal fired power plant that was fueled from the colossal Powder River Basin coal fields of northern Wyoming. Construction peaked at approximately 10,000 personnel, partially overwhelming the sleepy little burg of Wheatland with classic boom town syndrome. The author paints a detailed picture of maturing in the boom town environment, largely due to the previous experiences of the Gregg family in Rock Springs, Wyoming and Farmington, New Mexico. However, Wheatland was different. There was a spiritual awakening for the Gregg family. Volume - 4, New Beginnings details the often humorous birth pangs of a new power station, as well as the captivating and spellbinding birth pangs of a family ushered into a new and incredible spiritual awakening. The simple, straight forward, and truthful telling of these events by the author offers the readers a fascinating look at the transition and transformation of the Gregg family. It is a must-read in the Boom Town Reflections series.
