I never heard anything different growing up. I know, I hated that the idiot broke his nose. Glad you enjoyed the post. It's not earth shattering history, but sometimes it's fun just to learn these little things about a place.Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-48299387312724051422015-08-06T14:49:43.471-05:002015-08-06T14:49:43.471-05:00So glad you enjoyed the post, Sarah.

I mean, how can you top a name like that? And someone broke his nose with a quirt? My lands, what an idiot!<br />Of course, like most, Yes, I do recognize the symbol for Wyoming. I do love it--it is unique, and what's not to love about Wyoming? Thanks Kirsten, for an enlightening, uplifting tale.

I didn't know that until my grandmother was telling my dad that Stub Farlow passed away. I was young and it just made the symbol special to me.
