[@bethbartlett5692]

Wyoming offers a special feeling in History and personal experience. It is a Benefic energies feeling to me. Note to self: ("The Virginian") book, originally published in 1902. Owen Wister, Author Medicine Bow, WY Hotel: "The Virginian" 1911 on the Lincoln Highway

[@JudithSchoner]

I love the book "The Virginian" and the TV-Series too. ❤

[@ferragus00]

I learned the name Medicine Bow in that tv-serie.

[@audreyholt7721]

What a great story. Interesting to hear that the military was twice what the local population was.

[@robhumphrey4897]

​​@@ghosttownsandmore Your works are such Professional Productions, with excellent Narration, and truly an enjoyment to watch. I just discovered this Channel today, have watched about 3 - 4 and Subscribed to support your efforts. A Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian, I enjoy the History Content and observing the Human Behavior. I hope to see about a 50 min +/- episode. Maybe a Special Series can warrant some longer pieces. I've a particular fondness for Nevada, (lived there 17 years), and the Ancients that inhabited the West, DNA now revealing that the Mayans drifted North, others too no doubt, escaping the Spanish and their destruction. Best Thoughts and Great Successes ... Beth

This video has so much great information on Medicine Bow! Excellent!!!

[@NBZW]

Didn’t see the big ugly black building that faced 30, had a pretty good restaurant in the 60’s, always stopped there until 80 bypassed 30.

[@lindabriggs5118]

I bet the fearce winter storm of the 1918/1919 was indeed horrific. But I think this winter has been as bad. Interesting town. Thank you.

[@waynevonhagen1739]

Great video! Thank you!

The train in the area brought trade and people to this area ! I have visited this area around 20 years ago when my son lived in the area!

[@brandong.5514]

I had no idea that trains had those huge snow removers back then. I thought that was a more modern invention. It is amazing what people back then could accomplish from sheer will power.

Super nice people...got my jeep fixed there when going overland by two brothers, they stopped what they were doing and a couple of hours later I was on my way.... great guys..

[@longrider42]

Medicine Bow, was all set to have I-80 go through, on the same route as old 30. But, it didn't happen, and the town shrank big time. I live in Cheyenne Wyoming and I've never been there. But I know of its history. I-80 really did a job on town in Nebraska.

[@sergi9393]

very nice video

[@borealwhisperer6044]

My wife's 96 year old still living gramma aselia cooked there

[@bethbartlett5692]

Aselia, what a beautiful name, I wonder what its origin and meaning would be ...

[@skoomasteve6144]

That's super cool. I hope she's still kicking. God bless y'all.

[@borealwhisperer6044]

@@skoomasteve6144 she's alive and well living in Cheyenne now

[@tgltyty]

Medicine Bow isn't a ghost town, last I heard there were 245 people living there.

[@billiegutierrez2506]

I can tell you being from Wyoming Medicine Bow is NOT a ghost town

[@ChrisHaefner]

The fossil cabin needs to be moved. It's getting vandalized, and the weather is making its way into the building

[@Redo12able]

THE GOOD BACKGROUND MUSIC IS TOO LOUD

[@bethbartlett5692]

I've noticed that's a KZbin trait. Must have to adjust the audio lower before Uploads.
