Tie Hack Heritage - Our Wyoming
Starting around 1915, Dubois was home to a daring and tenacious group of hard-working men known as the tie hacks. They harvested logs from the surrounding forests to make railroad ties. Their work contributed to the industry that was, then, the lifeblood of the nation, and they gave Dubois its identity.

Thanks so much for this. I was born and raised at the base of the Snowy Range, west of Laramie, just after World War II. I remember Swedish, Norwegian, and Czech Tie Hacks my dad worked with each summer. Strong and tough, plus their wives who did all the cooking and washing in the Tie Camps.❇️
Love your channel. Keep up the excellent work. 👍👍👍👍👍
I grew up in Cheyenne, but lived and traveled all of beautiful Wyoming! I love the stories you produce, and am so glad you upload them to KZread. Keeping history alive is so very important to all states.
