Wyoming

Wyoming by:EW  History~ What is Wyoming? Wyoming is the "Equality State" and it's known for its beautiful mountains. "Equal Rights" is the states motto. July 10, 1890 Wyoming applied for statehood. It is the 44th state to join the union. Wyoming's state flower is the Indian Paintbrush. There state bird is the Meadowlark. There is a start on learning about Wyoming.   A lot of historic events took place before and after the state became an actual state. In 1868, Congress established the Territory of Wyoming. The first governor was John A. Campbell. The Johnson County War was started in 1891. The goal was to stop small cattle ranchers from raising cattle. In 1924, Wyoming elected their first girl governor. Her name was Nellie Tayloe Ross. In the mid 1900’s WWII brought in coal, timber, oil, and meats. My most favorite history event is in Jackson, Wyoming there is a ski resort and it is the most popular ski destination. Justivication: Why do I want to go to Wyoming? The main reason why I want to go to Wyoming is because I love to ski. Since they are most popular for their beautiful mountains, going skiing there is perfect for me. I would love to see the National Parks that they have there. One activity I would like to do is go on a wildlife tour and see the amazing animal that live and roam around the state. The most important activity I would like to do is definitely go skiing on Grand Teton Mountain in Jackson, Wyoming. Jackson Hole is what the ski resort is called. In downtown Jackson they have unbelievable shops and delicious restaurants. The last thing I would like to but might not get a chance to do is go visit Yellow Stone National Park . Those eare some things i want to do.
