He was one of six honored July 5, 2008 at the dedication of Afton's new Civic Center.He was born in Willard, Utah . During his early boyhood he worked in the fields gleaning wheat. In 1864 his father Anson Vasco Call was called to serve a mission in England by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , and while returning home in 1867 he died at Rock Creek, Wyoming .Anson's Mother was an efficient and hard worker, and provided for her family while the father was on his mission. Once a relative offered her $5.00 for a pair of mittens that he needed the next morning. She double knitted the large fancy mittens with yarn she had spun and Anson delivered them before daylight, bringing back the much needed money. This kind of effort on a continual basis resulted in weak health and she contracted typhoid fever , and died in July 1866 . The orphaned children were split up, and Anson went to live with his grandmother, Mary Flint Call.Grandmother was well-educated, and pushed along her very adept student.

Moses Byrne built several kilns here for producing charcoal, and Charles Guild established one of the first ranches in the Territory. Both Byrne and Guild were Mormon pioneers. Originally, the area was named "Byrne," but due to confusion with Bryan Station was renamed Piedmont. Both Byrne's wives, Anne Beus and Catherine Cardon, and Guild's wife, Marie Madeleine Cardon, were from small towns in the Torino Province, part of the Piedmont Region of northern Italy. Moses' wife Anne Beus lived in Ogden, Utah, and his other wife Catherine Cardon eventually ended up living in Piedmont, after first having spent time in the Utah towns of Ogden and Slaterville. Most historical sources that reference both 'Mrs. Byrne' and Piedmont are taken to be referring to Catherine Cardon. Catherine Cardon Byrne and Marie Madelaine Cardon Guild were sisters. The Guild family joined the Byrne family in 1866 at the Muddy River Station in southwest Wyoming, having traveled from Salt Lake City.

Excerpt:Ames Monument The Ames Monument is a large pyramid dedicated to brothers Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames, Jr. , Union Pacific Railroad financiers. The brothers garnered credit for connecting the nation by rail upon completion of the United States' first transcontinental railroad in 1869. Oakes, a U.S. representative to the United States Congress from Massachusetts, asserted near total control of its construction, whereas Oliver became president of the Union Pacific Railroad (1866 - 1871). In 1873 investigators implicated Oakes in fraud associated with financing of the railroad. Congress subsequently censured Oakes, who resigned in 1873. He died soon thereafter. The Ames Monument marked the highest point on the transcontinental railroad at 8,247 feet (2,514 m) However, Union Pacific Railroad Company twice relocated the tracks further south, causing the town of Sherman that arose near the monument to become a ghost town. Richardsonian design The Ames Monument is located about 20 miles (32 km) east of Laramie, Wyoming on an wind-blown, treeless summit south of Interstate 80 at the Vedauwoo exit. The monument is a four-sided, random ashlar pyramid, 60 feet (18 m) square at the base and 60 feet (18 m) high, constructed of light-colored native granite . The pyramid features an interior passage, now sealed, alongside the perimeter of the structure's base. Noted Americ... ... Read more

Excerpt: Uranium mining in the United States is the production of uranium from uranium-bearing ore. While uranium is used primarily for nuclear power, uranium mining had its roots in the production of uranium-bearing ore in 1898 with the mining of carnotite-bearing sandstones of the Colorado Plateau in Colorado and Utah, for their vanadium content. The late 1940s and early 1950s saw a boom in uranium mining in the western U.S., spurred by the fortunes made by prospectors such as Charlie Steen. The United States was the world's leading producer of uranium from 1953 until 1980, when annual U.S. production peaked at 16,810 metric tons U3O8. Until the early 1980s, there were active uranium mines in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Price declines in the late 1970s and early 1980s forced the closure of numerous mines. Most uranium ore in the United States comes from deposits in sandstone, which tend to be of lower grade than those of Australia and Canada. Because of the lower grade, many uranium deposits in the United States became uneconomic when the price of uranium declined sharply in the late 1970s. By 2001, there were only three operating uranium mines (all in-situ leaching operations) in the United States. Annual production reached a low of 779 metric tons of uranium oxide in 2003, but then more than doubled in three...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11508283 ... Read more
