When the mountain man brought the first mischievous mule into Wyoming he was unaware of the importance this stubborn, irritating critter would play in building the state.
As we continue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Yellowstone Highway through the Wind River Canyon, it would be a shame to overlook one of the hardest workers that helped bring in the modern age.
In between kicking up its heels and rolling in the mud, the mule helped build dams, railroads, highways and even brought electricity into the Wind River Canyon.
As a bonus, we share the story of one very mischievous mules named Gabriel who was saved from his antics by none other than Black Jack Pershing. His story was published in Wyoming papers in 1915.
Special thanks to the Wyoming Department of Transportation who sponsored this series celebrating the Wind River Canyon Scenic By-Way and its rich history. Remember, Wyoming, to buckle up while enjoying your trip down this beautiful stretch of highway!
Mule Train was sung by Frankie Laine in 1949. Johnny Curtis and the "Prairie Sons" was the muleskinner at the end.
