I live in Evanston and picked up the book at the only place that seems to have it: Dee's Boutique on Front Street. It's a fascinating and chilling read. My two older coworkers have been digging up all manner of lore from that time; one went to many rodeos in the valley with Mark Hickey when they were young and had to testify when Hickey attempted to use him as an alibi.

You most likely already know this, but attorney Gerry Spence included an account of the Hopkinson trial in his book Gunning for Justice that is a much more emotional and therefore very riveting narrative. He was good friends with the bombing victims, attorney Vince Vehar and his family.

I really enjoy your blog, by the way. It's rewarding to know that Wyoming has such a strong literary presence, and I appreciate the information. Keep up the good work.
 

Dear A: Thanks for your comments. I'm hearing good things about the book. Perhaps I need to read the book by Huseas and then Spence's "Gunning for Justice." Or vice versa. Right now I'm finishing the novel "Red Water" by Judith Freeman, an account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre as told by three of John D. Lee's many wives. It's kind of a strange companion piece to HBO's "Big Love."
