"THE LEGEND OF LITTLE AMERICA

"Back in the 1890s when Little America's founder was a young man herding sheep in a dreary section of Wyoming, he became lost in a ranging northeast blizzard and was forced to camp out all night at the place where the original Little America now stands (On Interstate 80, twenty-two miles west of Green River, Wyoming). On that long January night, in a terrible storm with fifty-mile-per-hour winds and 40 below temperatures, he longed for a warm fire, something to eat and wool blankets. He thought what a blessing it would be if some good soul would build a house of shelter at that desolate spot. Many times in his heart he dreamed of a haven for travelers with a crackling fire, a warm bed. delicious food, and convivial atmosphere. "In the 1930s when he saw Admiral Byrd's picture of "Little America" in Antarctica, and his isolation so many miles from his base camp, it reminded the founder of his experience in the Wyoming blizzard. The thought came back to fulfill his dream, to erect a haven of refuge on the spot of his harrowing experience. The name, naturally of course "Little America'" "From its humble beginning on Wyoming's southwestern desert, Little America has grown to include properties throughout the Western United States."
