Biographical and Professional Information

 

Born in Pennsylvania, Bill Barlow landed in Douglas, Wyoming in 1886 after several moves and established the newspaper, "The Budget," which is still in existence. He published a small monthly magazine called "Sage Brush Philosophy," whose circulation stretched beyond that of sparsely populated Wyoming. He was also mayor of Douglas for two successive terms, and served in the Wyoming Legislatures of 1894 and 1896. His last book, "The World Of Just You and I," was published posthumously under the name of Merris Barrow.
