Weatherby Celebrates Grand Opening in Wyoming
Weatherby celebrated its grand opening in Sheridan, Wyoming last week in front of hundreds who gathered to witness the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The company has been passed down through three generations since opening in 1945. Over the years there’s been a growing dissonance between Weatherby and its home state of California, so they decided it was time to set up shop somewhere else.
“This really isn’t about the past, it’s about the future,” said Adam Weatherby, the company’s chief executive. “The future of Wyoming, the future of Weatherby, the future of the outdoor industry.”
Wyoming’s First Lady Jennie Gordon, speaking on behalf of her husband Gov. Mark Gordon, called the firearm industry an important part of growing the state’s economy.
“A ribbon cutting is always exciting, but this one is particularly so because it marks the expansion of Wyoming’s firearms industry and the creation of more jobs and wages,” Gordon said. “It’s a powerful sign of the prosperity and opportunities we have here in Wyoming.”
The daylong event opened with a public tour and other festivities. All morning, Wyomingites waited in a line that wrapped around the building to get a glimpse inside the 30,000 square foot facility and mingle with some of the 71 Weatherby employees.
While touring the new Sheridan facility, Guns.com saw the business offices, the factory floor where rifles are manufactured and assembled, and a new indoor range where the company can test fire rifles on targets 100- and 300-feet away.
While company, state and local officials mentioned economic opportunities, they also spoke about an evolving identity, making Wyoming and Weatherby synonymous with each other. The enthusiasm for the company has been growing since Weatherby broke ground last year. In that time, the company received some 3,500 applications to fill just 50 jobs.
For Jordan Davis, who has lived in Sheridan for more than a decade, the opportunity to work for Weatherby meant more than just a paycheck. A Weatherby firearm in his family became a symbol of hope for his late brother.
“To me, that’s what Weatherby is. It’s not just a product. It’s not just a rifle. It’s actually an idea of value and quality. And it’s the quality and craftsmanship that we put into our product but it’s also the quality of people that build that. So that’s passed into the product,” Davis said. “So it’s just something that for me encapsulates my love for my brother and honors him and I’m really proud to work at Weatherby.”
Former Gov. Matt Mead said he tried to build on Wyoming’s strengths, like the role guns and hunting have within the culture, as he paved the way for Weatherby’s move from California.
“When this first started out, I was told numerous times ‘it’s a long shot,’ but ladies and gentleman I think we hit the bull’s eye. Dead center,” Mead said. “And I’m proud of that. I’m proud of the relationship that Wyoming and Weatherby have because from this point forward anywhere in the world somebody picks up a Weatherby they’re going to associate it with wonderful Wyoming.”

Sheridan leatherworker James Jackson wins nation's highest honor for his craft
Enjoy this amazing conversation with master leatherworker and National Endowment for the Arts 2019 National Heritage Fellowship awardee James Jackson.
This year Jackson won the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts after being nominated by Josh Chrysler, folklorist for the Wyoming Arts Council.
“Jim being awarded a National Heritage Fellowship is truly a testament to the caliber of his work. The NEA only gives these fellowships to the best of the best, and Jim belongs in that group, said Chrysler of Jackson's work. It’s difficult to understate both how prestigious an award this is, and how strongly Jackson deserves it, for his excellence in an art form that is in many ways, highly representative of Wyoming and our western, ranching culture.”
Jackson spent much of his career doing custom work for King’s Saddlery in downtown Sheridan, and now demonstrates his leather carving at the Brinton Museum outside Big Horn.
Today, James Jackson works from his studio at the Bradford Brinton Museum in Sheridan.
Jackson is deeply rooted in the leather carving tradition, having grown up primarily in Sheridan, which is known worldwide for its distinctive ‘Sheridan Style’ of leather tooling.
Jackson learned the art form from his father, the saddlemaker Edward Jackson, and other Sheridan leather carvers including Don King, Bill Gardner, and Ernie Ernst. Consistent with Sheridan Style, Jackson carves a tight pattern, with a lot of small flowers wrapped in nesting circles of swirling leaves. At the same time, Jackson develops his own patterns, and also experiments with form, combining his painting and leatherwork. Jackson is also a formally trained artist, holding an MFA from the University of Wyoming.
Jackson joins three previous National Heritage Fellows from Wyoming: Don King, Western saddlemaker, 1991; Eva McAdams, Shoshone crafts and beadwork, 1996; and Martin Goicoechea, Basque bertsolari poetry, 2003. Jackson, along with eight other recipients from across the nation, was honored in Washington, DC in September 2019.
Wonders of Wyoming : The Historic Sheridan Inn

Riding High, Wide & Handsome
2017
In the summer of 2016, I worked in northeastern Wyoming where I had the opportunity to get to know the people, history and businesses of region. Arriving without a preconceived outcome, I planned to get to know the artists, ranchers, shepherds and the local population in the hopes of building a body of work that reflected current concerns paired with its history. It wasn’t too long before I was learning about the big changes in the state’s economy while big coal was shutting down. This lose in coal money was aiding in the reemergence of the tourism. I also found the history of western textiles, materials and even stereotypes to be great symbols of the region’s identity. From branding designs to vintage western tchotchke fabrics and farming equipment, everything fits into a larger history of the area.
With all this physical, verbal and historical material in hand, I have begun to build a body of work that best reflects my perspective of the region’s history, interests and fears. People are a little worried about their future. This fear and pride for their regional identity is something I’m imbedding into the artwork, which is collaged together digitally and physically. All the materials were gathered while in Wyoming, yet I am still finding bits and pieces here and there from my research. This methodology of being a cultural collector of artifacts has gotten me thinking more and more about the amount of story telling in my research. I am attempting to insert as much local history, tropes, characters and landscape while also not trying to make the resulting series look as if it came from a journalist. I want the artist’s hand to still show through and it this combination of my art practice and photojournalistic background that I find compelling. The best way of getting to know the town, is not only found in books or wiki pages, but by spending weeks upon weeks in coffee shops, barber shops, bars and dinners chatting with the folks that come and go. Once folks learn I’m not there to write an outsider’s editorial story about the town, but responding artistically to their opinions and wishes; folks are more eager to become involved and collaborate. It was one of these conversations in a diner where I heard a phrase that gave me the name of this series. That man there is riding high, wide & handsome.

Cultural Landscape of the Upper Tongue River Valley in Rosebud County, Montana (2007-12)
Birney, Montana is one of the West's most historic and well-preserved ranching communities.
Located in the upper Tongue River drainage, Birney is a place where families still raise horses, ranch cattle and grow hay, remaining on land settled by their ancestors four and five generations ago.
Settled in the early 1800′s, after the U.S. Army's war with the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians had ended, the upper Tongue River valley is also a landscape filled with ancient archaeological sites and traditional places important to the history and culture of the Cheyenne, Crow, and Lakota people.
This documentary tells one piece of the Upper Tongue River story, the history of the Birney ranching community in the words of the people who call Birney home. We thank all the people who made it possible to collect and tell this story.
Pony Express
The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages, newspapers, mail, and small packages from St. Joseph, Missouri, across the Great Plains, over the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada to Sacramento, California, by horseback, using a series of relay stations. During its 18 months of operation, it reduced the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to about 10 days. From April 3, 1860, to October 1861, it became the West's most direct means of east–west communication before the telegraph was established and was vital for tying the new state of California with the rest of the country.
The Pony Express was a mail-delivery system of the Leavenworth and Pike's Peak Express Company of 1859, which in 1860 became the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company. This firm was founded by William H. Russell, Alexander Majors, and William B. Waddell all of whom were notable in the freighting business.

SUMMARY
=======
Western is a genre of fiction incorporating Western lifestyle which tell stories set primarily in the latter half of the 19th century in the American Old West, often centering on the life of a nomadic cowboy or gunfighter armed with a revolver and a rifle who rides a horse. Cowboys and gunslingers typically wear Stetson hats, neckerchief bandannas, vests, spurs, cowboy boots and buckskins (alternatively dusters). Recurring characters include the aforementioned cowboys, Native Americans, bandits, lawmen, bounty hunters, outlaws, gamblers, soldiers (especially mounted cavalry, such as buffalo soldiers), and settlers (farmers, ranchers, and townsfolk). The ambience is usually punctuated with a Western music score, including American and Mexican folk music such as country, Native American music, New Mexico music, and rancheras.
Westerns often stress the harshness of the wilderness and frequently set the action in an arid, desolate landscape of deserts and mountains. Often, the vast landscape plays an important role, presenting a ...mythic vision of the plains and deserts of the American West. Specific settings include ranches, small frontier towns, saloons, railways, wilderness, and isolated military forts of the Wild West.
Common plots include:
The construction of a railroad or a telegraph line on the wild frontier.
Ranchers protecting their family ranch from rustlers or large landowners or who build a ranch empire.
Revenge stories, which hinge on the chase and pursuit by someone who has been wronged.
Stories about cavalry fighting Native Americans.
Outlaw gang plots.
Stories about a lawman or bounty hunter tracking down his quarry.Many Westerns use a stock plot of depicting a crime, then showing the pursuit of the wrongdoer, ending in revenge and retribution, which is often dispensed through a shootout or quick-draw duel.The Western was the most popular Hollywood genre from the early 20th century to the 1960s.
Western films first became well-attended in the 1930s. John Ford's landmark Western adventure Stagecoach became one of the biggest hits in 1939 and it made John Wayne a mainstream screen star. The popularity of Westerns continued in the 1940s, with the release of classics such as Red River (1948). Westerns were very popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Many of the most acclaimed Westerns were released during this time, including High Noon (1952), Shane (1953), The Searchers (1956), Cat Ballou (1965), The Wild Bunch (1969) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Classic Westerns such as these have been the inspiration for various films about W ...
