Hog Ranches of Wyoming: Liquor, Lust & Lies Under Sagebrush Skies

Larry K. Brown

Larry Brown has gathered the stories of Wyoming’s hog ranches, from Mother Featherlegs’ place to the Nine Mile Ranch to the Hog Ranch at Fetterman. These colorful sties were brimming with sin, gunplay, gambling, murder, outlaws, and romance. There, a customer might while away his free time with a shot of rye, a game of faro, and a roll in the crib with a “soiled angel” made passably attractive by loneliness and miles of sage.

Warning: this is not a book about hog farming.

“…easy to read, fast-paced, and intriguing. Hopefully, this book is only one of many that Larry K. Brown will produce on the existence of conflict and disorderly conduct inherent in Wyoming’s frontier experiences.”
•• Walter Jones, Annals of Wyoming

“You…will feel satisfied when you finish Larry Brown’s Hog Ranches of Wyoming that you learned something about history that doesn’t find it way into textbooks.”
•• Mark Junge, former editor, Wyoming Annals
