TORRINGTON – The local community was the recipient of a whirl-wind tour of the state’s attractions, history and people recently, all through the eyes of a veteran Wyoming newsman.
Bill Sniffin, retired newspaper publisher turned book author, visited several local groups recently, touting his recent trilogy of coffee table books covering all aspects of the Cowboy State. One of the stops Sniffin, from Lander, made was to pay a visit on the Torrington Rotary Club during its regular Monday luncheon meeting at the Cottonwood at Torrington Country Club here.
Sniffin’s journey in book form began almost a decade ago, as part of his “My Wyoming” newspaper column. He eventually started work on the book that would eventually bear the title Wyoming’s 7 Greatest Natural Wonders and 33 Other Fascinating Places, based on those early musings. Published in 2012, the book features Sniffin’s writings, as well as those of contributing writers and photographers, highlighting his views on the must-visit parts of the state.
“The biggest response I got (to those early columns) was, ‘Who gave you the right to pick the seven wonders of Wyoming?’” Sniffin said.
