This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues - courage. 'Grace under pressure, ' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by a few notable Wyoming citizens and the grace with which they endured them - the risks to their careers, the unpopularity of their courses, the defamation of their characters, and sometimes, but sadly only sometimes, the vindication of their reputations and their principles.
