Railhead: Burlington Northern, Wind River Canyon, Wyoming.

From our companion blog; Railhead: Burlington Northern, Wind River Canyon, Wyoming.:

These are photographs of the Burlington Northern as it runs through the Wind River Canyon, or rather at the head of the canyon. The canyon is fairly long and the rail line, and the State highway, run throughout its length.

Why is this reposted here?

Well, because of the juxtaposition of the old means of transportation (once new), now limited around here to carrying freight, and the new one.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
