Excerpt from The Hand-Book of Wyoming and Guide to the Black Hills and Big Horn Regions: For Citizen, Emigrant and Tourist Little more than sixty days ago the writer announced his intention of producing this work, and commenced the task of gathering statistics and placing them into the form now presented. A few promises were made in the prospectus first issued, and the kind-hearted and enterprising citizens who have assisted upon the strength of such collateral are respectfully asked to compare the result with the good intentions. Inspec tion and criticism are not invited, however, in the belief that the volume is devoid of errors or incongruities. In a field possessed of such grandeur and wonderfully varied interests as that pre sented by Wyoming a year might well have been devoted to the cre'ation of such a work; and in stating that only one-sixth of that time has been hardly, bewvondered that im perfection may be admitted.z: In cumming, sifutih'g'and tabulating these statistics the writer 'hajslendeavoredg to. Be thoroughly con scientious, and to accept onlytt'liatgfrtmether hands which has been deemed thoroughly reliable; )when the )reader remembers that there has been no similar fvjoiilfpublished here, that official statistics in so young a commonwealth are few and almost value less, and that every department of our industry and resource is at least brie y touched upon, he can, in a measure, realize the amount of labor which has been bestowed.
