On Sacred Ground
A Religious and Spiritual History of Wyoming
by Warren Murphy
Wyoming has a colorful history and has played a significant role in the development of that part of America we call “the West.” However, a good part of that history has yet to be told. On Sacred Ground: A Religious and Spiritual History of Wyoming tells the story about how people of faith contributed in shaping the state’s future. People of diverse faith traditions, religious denominations, congregations and individual spiritual leaders all left an imprint on Wyoming’s identity and character. Their stories are many and varied. This book is about those stories and those who participated in them.
