On Sept. 29, 1977, David L. Roberts started the Medicine Bow Post, just as the town of Medicine Bow was about to boom (with the rest of Wyoming). The Post was the first newspaper in town since 1921, when the short-lived News closed after barely two years. He started humbly, just before the dawn of computerized typesetting. He not only made it ok financially, but won lots of Press Association awards and compiled a news “history” of a Western boomtown in both writing and photographs. It lasted into the 1980s after the boom, that turned into a bust, came crashing over Wyoming and the town.
