Abstract
Well before attaining statehood in 1890, Wyoming had gained the distinction of being the first government in the nation to appoint a woman to public office, and the first to grant women the vote. This paper examines Wyoming's reputation for being the Equality State when it comes to women's suffrage. It explores the history of women's rights and the personalities who influenced this history.
From the Paper
"One story goes that the delegates were sending regular telegrams home to Wyoming reporting the progress of negotiations. When the men of the delegation declared that they would return home rather than disenfranchise their women it is reputed that the women who were waiting in Cheyenne for news replied in their own telegram. "Do what you must", the legend goes, "we trust our men to return the vote to us when we have statehood." No copy of this purported message is in existence but, it is given such credence that it appears in the exhibit to the Equality State in Wyoming's capital."

"Wolves
The status of the wolf in the United States is becoming more secure. The wolf has made a comeback in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin. It is currently being reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. In Alaska, sanctioned kills are vehemently discussed. Hunters in Michigan are complaining that the number of wolves living in the forests are killing too many deer. Since 1975, wolves have been spotted in Wisconsin. After many years of having a bounty on their heads, the last bounty was paid in 1965 in Minnesota, and the wolves have returned. It is time to begin managing this population to control the deer herds and to reintroduce wolf packs as a top-line predator in other parts of the country."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Snake River which is part of the larger Columbia River system. The natural ecology of the Snake River has been altered by the placement of dams on the river, altering the way Salmon move through the entire region and raising a number of questions about whether the dams are doing more harm than good. The Snake River is the main tributary of the Columbia River and extends some 1028 miles through both Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. The river originates in Wyoming. The river empowers a number of hydroelectric plants along its route and so is a vital energy source for the country. The ecology of the Snake River has changed as a result of many of the projects along the length of the river, including the aforementioned series of dams and possible pollutants from the hydroelectric plants as well as from other environmental challenges in the region.
From the Paper
"The Columbia River system drains a 259,000-square-mile basin covering territory in seven states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah) and one Canadian province (Columbia River 2005). This river is probably the most significant environmental force in the Pacific Northwest, flowing more than 1,200 miles from the base of the Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia to the Pacific Ocean at Astoria, Oregon, and Ilwaco, Washington. Human beings have inhabited the region along the river for more than 10,000 years, but modern engineering in the 19th and 20th centuries has dramatically altered the Columbia River, so much so that some scientists today believe that the river is environmentally threatened and that drastic action should be taken to reverse the changes made to the Columbia over the last 150 years."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"Brokeback Mountain", directed by Ang Lee, is an astounding story about two young men who meet and fall in love in the summer of 1963 while they are working as sheepherders on Brokeback Mountain, in the state of Wyoming. The paper provides an overview of this controversial, Academy award winning film about the lives and feelings of homosexuals which was released in 2005. It discusses the plot and the theme of sexuality that runs through the movie.
From the Paper
"The sadness that they feel is intense as they realize that the feelings that they do have for each other are loving feelings. Both men separate with tears in their eyes, but think in their mind that it is the best thing for the both of them because homosexuality is not accepted in society, especially a country society like Wyoming, where the movie takes place. The tears that the two men cry show the viewer that they really had an emotional relationship and it was not simply "sex"."

"Losing Matthew Shepard"--A Review, 2007.

Abstract
This paper describes the murder of Matthew Shepard, its background and repercussions, as portrayed in B. Loffreda's book "Losing Matthew Shepard." The reviewer first delves into the myths Loffreda presents surrounding gay populations outside of major urban centers. The paper then outlines the active homophobia in some rural areas, such as Wyoming, where the Shepard murder took place. The reviewer finds Loffreda's analysis to be extensive, since she was able to talk to many people in the town who otherwise avoided speaking to the media. Her investigation took place at the same time as the trial and other events related to the crime, making her ability to get answers from a shell-shocked public all the more remarkable.
From the Paper
"Wyoming is a part of the country that sees itself as separated from the sort of tensions ascribed by the populace to places like New York City. Some may also see New York and Los Angeles as bastions of gay populations while trying to deny that there are any gay people at all in the hinterlands, though clearly there are. Shepard had jus recently joined a group at the university called the Lesbian Gay bisexual Transgender Association (LGBTA), and though this was the only gay organization on campus and in Laramie as a whole, its existence shows that there was a sizeable gay population in the area. Others in the group had been attacked, leading to a view that anti-gay feelings were pervasive and that these might have contributed to the death of Shepard."

Abstract
This paper discusses the pre-Sukhothai and post-Sukhothai era as it relates to Thailand. This paper examines the evidence that proves the Sukhothai era brought about the birth of the Thai people who were considered a separate entity from the Sukhothai culture. The writer of this paper also details the geographical makeup of Thailand, which is more than double the size of Wyoming. This paper focuses on Thailand's culture, religion and economy. The total population of Thailand is over 64 million and the main languages are Thai and English as well as ethnic and regional dialects. Major industries in Thailand include tourism, textiles, agricultural processing, beverages and tobacco. The writer contends and explains why the Thai people are very proud of their unique culture and are unwilling to accept the influences of any outside cultures.
From the Paper
"In terms of Thai kingdoms, Sukhothai is supposed to be the first Thai kingdom and their behavior is supposed to reflect the first true Thai behavior. They were followed by the Ayudhaya kings and their kingdom and culture were finally destroyed by the invading armies from Myanmar. The people of the two nations have always been great rivals. The kingdom of Ayudhaya and its capital city was very imposing in the period and also impressed the Portuguese, Dutch, and Japanese who visited that kingdom, and those people also built up their own settlements. The kings were very powerful and the ordinary citizens were not permitted to even look at the king directly. At the same time, they had good diplomatic skills and that stopped Thailand from being captured by Britain or France, though they lost the areas of present day Laos and Cambodia to France and some of the Malay states to Britain."

Abstract
"The Virginian", a recent television adaptation of a classical western novel, written in the final decade of the 19th century by Owen Wister, combines many symbolic representations of themes found in late 19th century culture. The paper shows how Molly Stark, who comes from Vermont to Wyoming to teach school, represents many of the ideas found in the suffrage and temperance movement that are thought of as typical of the progressive era. There she meets a ranch-hand played by Bill Pullman, who is only known as the Virginian. Like the Virginian, she is a rugged individual with a well-defined set of beliefs who acts as a Paladin against the backdrop of the American frontier. The paper compares the television adaption to films which were made, based on the novel.
From the Paper
"Women first came to the west as prostitutes, but when the territory granted women the right to vote in 1869, it began to attract fiercely independent ?spinsters? such as Molly Stark. In Wyoming, we see the fruition of the goals that first coalesced in New England at the Seneca Falls convention. Although men were to continue to outnumber women, the state went on to pass many laws aimed at introducing gender equality. Such laws gave women control over their earnings and personal property, required that both male and female heirs be treated equally when someone died without a will, and specified that home loan or farm mortgages were not binding on a wife unless she had co-signed the contract with her husband."

The Civil War, 2004.
This paper discusses the causes of the Civil War and the effects of the war on the United States of America.

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the key causative events leading to the Civil War is the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the two-year-old Mexican War between Mexico and the United States and that allowed the U.S. to acquire the territory that would become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The author feels that the North won, not because it had right on its side, but because it had better weapons and a more industrialized economy, which created a more efficient infrastructure, greater wealth, and a much larger population base to draw upon for its military draft. The paper points out that the Civil War was the first war in which soldiers made extensive use of rifled ordinance, shell guns, machine guns, iron-hulled ships, land and water mines, submarines, and air balloon intelligence gathering.
From the Paper
"The strength of the South was overall higher in the first years of the war, although it was certainly not simply a case of a consistent and unmitigated decline. The relative strengths of the two sides tended to shift with the results of the latest major battle. They also contained purely psychological elements: The South originally benefited from the effects of its actions of seceding ? there was a great deal of pride across much of the South that followed secession and that helped to boost spirits across the Confederacy ? a fact that was reflected in important strategic gains for the region. The South also revived to some extent in the last months of the war: Even as defeat became more and more likely to occur, Southerners were determined to save what they could of their lives and their history."

From the Paper
"Grand geyser is one of the many geysers that can be found at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The most famous geyser located at Yellowstone is Old Faithful, but Grand geyser should not be overlooked. Grand geyser is one of the largest geysers on Earth and has an interval of eight to twelve hours with a height of 150-180 feet and a duration of 10-12 minutes. Grand geyser, like most geysers, is formed from a hot spring with an underground chamber. The future of Grand geyser is really unknown, but it is expected to remain active for many years to come. Yellowstone National Park is a major tourist attraction in Wyoming, thus it draws a large crowd to view the magnificent beauty of Grand geyser. Like most things, there is a danger to the geyser in the form of water contamination."
