The DAYES Of Wyoming

The DAYES of Wyoming

by Patricia Probert Gott

This historic novel takes place during the late 1800s to early 1900s in northern Wyoming, from Johnson County, east of the Bighorns, to Yellowstone, west of the Continental Divide.

Bertha and Charlie Daye’s adventures include guiding eastern guests into remote mountain paradises on horseback, rounding up wild horses, riding in thrilling overland horse races, and adopting children who traveled west on one of the famous Orphan Trains and the ensuing adjustments they would all have to make if they were to become a family.

I have read and thoroughly enjoyed "The Dayes of Wyoming." It transported me back to our times in Wyoming and brought back such a lot of happy Rimrock-memories, it was pure joy. I could picture everything so well, I knew where you'd been and the Dayes went, because I'd experienced it all as well... Hope that you have many more such treats for me in the pipe-line!

I finished your book and I really liked it. It was authentic , well written and well paced. The characters are realistic of the era and very believable. It was truly an armchair adventure in the old west. Your knowledge of the area and of horses came through clearly. The Orphan Train added additional human interest.
