Legacy of the Tetons: Homesteading in Jackson Hole (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941694015)

Pioneer Courage, Sacrifice and Determination Today's Jackson Hole, Wyoming ... A magnet for tourists who each year flock by the thousands to get a taste of the American West. But before the cars and buses, Jackson Hole was a land of wilderness, a place for Native Americans and fur trappers, a gathering spot for horse thieves and miners. Then came the homesteaders-men, women and children who saw the beauty of the land and decided to build a home within sight of the majestic Grand Tetons. Now mostly a memory ... Stories of bravery, love, heartbreak, joy and fortitude, brought back to life in Legacy of the Tetons. Get to know these remarkable people who battled the land and the elements to make a community. Feel the struggle of those-some of whom came on foot in the Mormon Handcart Migration-who lived and many who died. Experience the settlement known as Mormon Row. Meet the Moultons, the Mays, the Chambers and the Rinikers. Get to know their families. This is their story. This is their legacy.
