The Naming of a Lake
The Naming of a Lake
On the edge of this magnificent sheet of water, from 1833 to 1844, Captain William Drummond Stewart of Scotland, camped many times with Jim Bridger and other Mountain Men and the Indians.

If Gene Bryson can't be a cowboy lawman, well then, he doesn't want to be a lawman at all.
[New Sublette County Sheriff Stephen] Haskell decided the Western look no longer belonged on his officers. He decided on new uniforms: black trousers, a tan shirt, black boots and a black ball cap. And you won’t see Gene Bryson wearing any of it.
Bryson wore a brown cowboy hat, brown cowboy boots, summertime leather vest or wintertime wool vest. He retired on Friday after 28 years with the Sublette County Sherriff’s Department, 40 years total in law enforcement.
“That’s kind of the reason why I retired,” Bryson said. “I am not going to change. I’ve been here for 40-odd years in the Sheriff’s Office, and I’m not going to go out and buy combat boots and throw my vest and hat away and say, ‘This is the new me.’ That’s not going to work.”
Bryson said he would’ve stayed if not for the rule change. But now that he’s retired, he’ll spend more time with his wife and grandchildren and at his gun shop in Marbleton.

In 1857 it was improved as a wagon road by the Government under the…
