Chief Washakie
Wyoming - In 1997, the Wyoming Legislature selected Chief Washakie (1798-1900) as the second figure to represent Wyoming in the National Statuary Hall. Governor Jim Geringer said, "He led his people through very difficult times in the history of the American West, and yet, was always able to devote himself to statesmanship, bringing people together, always standing firm for principles and for people"... "He was as great a warrior as he was a statesman, respected for his wisdom and his leadership."
