The origins of this book are obscure. For more than thirty years the original manuscript has been in the Wyoming State Penitentiary files at the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins, Wyoming. While it was probably written around 1923, this book covers some specific events in Wyoming history dating from 1903 until late 1912.

Waters, author of Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Indiana, copied and published the records to enable researchers to determine if an ancestor did locate in Indiana, and if so, where when. The earliest land records of Indiana Territory go back to 1801, when a land office was established in Cin... View More...
