Ostensibly exploring the practice of law before the internet. Heck, before good highways for that matter.

Oberg Pass. The Site of the first aircraft fatality in Wyoming.
Which occurred as part of the 1919 Air Derby.
This crash, discussed elsewhere, is usually referenced as occurring "west of Cheyenne". It is west of Cheyenne, but the pilot was following the Union Pacific Railroad and a much better description would have been north west of Laramie, or even south of Medicine Bow.
