Wyoming History in the First Person, the predecessor to this sequel, told coming of age stories, recounting events in the life of a young man growing up in the 1950s.

Then, sustained by his Wyoming heritage, he moved on. The Big Kid from Wyoming Takes on the World reports events from the six decades that followed.

Human interest, good humor, and good story telling are again the goals. On 10th and 25th of each month a new story will be posted.
