Cheyenne's Capitol Avenue Bronze: History Enshrined - Paperback

by Starley Talbott (Author), Michael E. Kassel (Author), Patrick Collins (Foreword by)

Casting the Cowboy State's Past

Wyoming's history is enshrined in the bronze sculptures lining Capitol Avenue and across Cheyenne. The idea, conceived only a decade prior, rapidly grew into the most successful public arts project in city history. Inspired by and committed to preserving the history of the state, private citizens donated bronze sculptures depicting important figures and contributions. Tribal leaders, explorers and governors are represented. The contributions of architects, artists and suffragettes are celebrated. And dedication to service in politics, agriculture and the military are honored. Authors Starley Talbott and Michael Kassel explore the state's rich past cast in bronze.
