In Search of Sublet: A Story of Wyoming is a story of a mans search for an abandoned coal mining town of the early 1900s in the High Plains Desert of southwest Wyoming; the boyhood home of his father, and about the places that were visited and the people that were met along the way. The search and associated travels occurred during three separate journeys within an 11-year period. It is, in part, an ancestral biographical sketch of the authors paternal side of the family, as well as a sentimental journey to discover what remained, if anything, of the site of his fathers boyhood home; a place his father spoke of so often during his lifetime, but never was able to revisit. What began as a curious inquiry into the location of a coal town turned into a quest to unearth the past. The author writes from the heart, but attempts to refrain from being too nostalgic.
