Wyoming was one of the last states to be inhabited by non-native settlers. Campbell County, located in northeastern Wyoming, lacks a major body of water and so was not a primary destination for those who had headed west. The first settlements came after the early Homestead Acts, when the federal government gave out free land claims to encourage homesteaders. Another local rush occurred in the 1970s, when dozens of commercial coal mines opened and began hiring workers.

Author Steven M. Lucas provides a glimpse into the lively story of Patchogue through the comparison of historic and modern photographs that showcase how this small farming community developed into the vibrant place it is today.

Beginning with its origins in the 18th century as a sparsely populated farming community, Patchogue has had to reinvent itself many times. Farming, milling, boatbuilding, commercial fishing, large industry, tourism and recreation, small retail, and restaurants have all played major roles in the history and development of Patchogue. As an officer and trustee of the Greater Patchogue Historical Society for over 20 years, author Steven M. Lucas was given access to the society's archives to gather the images contained within this publication.
