Lessons?

Idaho, like Wyoming, went for Ted Cruz in the GOP primary.

Idaho, like Wyoming, has a lot of public land that the public likes to use. Cruz during the primary espoused the toxic idea that the public lands should go to the states.

Well, a large Idaho ranch bought by two extremely rich Texans, at least one of whom was a Cruz supporter, just locked up access, right in front of elk season in the area, through his lands, effectively eliminating the ability of Idaho hunters who hunt there.

I feel sorry for them, truly, . . .unless they voted for Cruz, in which case they are getting exactly what they deserve.

And Wyomingites who don't challenge our candidates who make such statements are setting this exact scenario up on a massive scale.

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!
