About Pioneers of Outlaw Country

Welcome to Pioneers of Outlaw Country: Wyoming History where we dive deep into the rugged, untamed spirit of Wyoming's rich history. I’m your host, Jackie Dorothy. So pleased to meet you! I am a historian, journalist and memoir coach and you can find me at legendrockmedia.com. I’m the seventh generation of my family living in Wyoming and currently live near Thermopolis on the Wind River Reservation. My passion is to make history come alive! Many of these stories have been forgotten and the pioneers are relatively unknown. Join us for a journey back into time that is fun for the entire family and students of any age! This podcast series has been supported by our partners; the Hot Springs County Pioneer Association, the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, the Wyoming Humanities, and the Wyoming Office of Transportation.
