Even though I've been in City Park in Casper lots of times, I managed to have never noticed this memorial to James Cobb Barlow.
James A. Barlow Jr. was a noted Wyoming geologist. He was the son of the elder James Barlow who was a homesteader first in Colorado and then later in Wyoming, but who had relocated to the East Coast prior to marrying. James A. Barlow came to Wyoming to study geology, and had one of the first two Ph.D's from the University of Wyoming's geology department. While I hadn't realized it, he obviously served as Mayor of Casper, Wyoming in 1965-66.
