First National Bank of Meeteetse, Meeteetse Wyoming.

This is obviously not a painted building, but this small brick building which now serves as a museum does provide a nice example of early 20th Century ornamental brick work.  The small bank was built in 1901.  It is typical for small town banks of this period.

Give Me Eighty Men

I'm presently reading Give Me Eighty Men by Shannon Smith. It's a history of the Fetterman Fight, and a history of the history of the Fetterman Fight. I'll review it when I'm done, but I'll note that the favorable mention of the book by the authors of The Heart of All That Is caused me to pick it up, even though I'd been inclined to previously avoid it.

So far, I'm enjoying it, and its certainly raising a lot questions in my mind about the Fetterman battle, although I'm reserving my judgment on various things so far.

Stop over and let us know what you're reading!
