Windham

A view from 1939:

WINDHAM (4,266 alt., 115 pop.), serves nearby cattle and wheat ranches as a trading center.
Well known in this country was "Liver-eating" Johnson, an old frontiersman, who hated Indians implacably. Johnson received his name because of an often repeated threat to eat the liver of the first Indian who came near his place; some old-timers insist that he did eat it.

The MOCCASIN MOUNTAINS, whose low, rounded summits are densely forested with lodgepole pine, are visible (L).

The BIG SNOWY MOUNTAINS are visible ahead (R), a chain of rounded summits. Geologists call them laboratory mountains, because they are old geologically and their gentle contours illustrate the history of mountain building.
