Sweetwater Gold

The history of Wyoming’s Gold Rush, 1867-1671, in the Sweetwater mining district is written by Marion McMillan Huseas. South Pass City was established near the Oregon Trail and was much like many mining towns of that era. One exception is that Esther Morris lived in this mining district. She was a woman who strongly believed in women suffrage and is credited with encouraging the introduction of the Woman Suffrage Act in the Wyoming Territorial Legislature. Thus, following this Wyoming became the first territory or state to allow women the right to vote. ($24.95)
