Excerpt from Annals of Wyoming, Vol. 72: The Wyoming History Journal; Winter 2000The second statue of Burns was not dedicated until 1929, but the passage of a quarter of a century did not alter the sentiments. Like Colorado, Wyoming housed a number of scottish-american organizations. For years Cheyenne residents Andrew and Mary Gilchrist had hosted a gala Bums Dinner celebration on January 25, to which it was considered an honor to be invited. Uh like Denver's Burns statue, however, the funds for the Cheyenne monument came, not from the entire Scot tish community, but from a single person, Mary Gilchrist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
