"Many people who pride themselves on their blue blood would be far happier with pure blood; but while we cannot choose our ancestors, fortunately, by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, we can transmit pure blood to our posterity." --Rock Springs Miner, 20 April 1892, page 4, online at Wyoming Newspaper Project.org.

Rock Springs Rocket Thursday 30 June 1932 Cowboy Ropes Rattle Snake Lander, Wyo., June 30—(AP)—Cowboys usually toss their ropes to catch a calf but John Adams of near Lander has gone the buckaroos one better.   He snared a rattlesnake with his. It happened one day last week on Onion Flats, alone the Lander-Rawlins road.   Adams saw a huge rattler about to strike and he snapped a rope around it.   The reptile had 13 rattlers. (note:   no relation but thought this was an interesting article to share!)
