I am further indebted to the City of Loveland Museum-Gallery for its many fascinating and informative exhibits.
My description of the terrible winter of 1886-87, which was believed to be a second Ice Age (!), was gleaned from almost all of the above-mentioned as well as the web site:
http://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/index.html
This site also clearly discusses the formation of the huge cattle companies by British investors, mainly various lesser members of the aristocracy such as Moreton Frewen, who was Winston Churchill’s uncle and thereby related to the Duke of Marlborough.
For information on Greeley, I used: www.greeleygov.com./museums/Historyof Greeley.aspx
My apologies to the people of the Loveland/Greeley area for playing around somewhat with their geography for the purposes of fiction. Any other mistakes in the representations of this area and history were purely unintentional and my own.
A word about the author...
