NATRONA COUNTY HISTORY TO GROW IN VALUE AS YEARS PASS Most books attract only current interest but such is not the case with that written by Alfred J: Mokler— his “History of Natrona County.” With each successive generation this volume will become more valu- able and rather than depreciate will accumulate wider attention. To consider only one’s own im- mediate interest in Mokler’s book is short-sightedness since the children, grandchildren and great grandchil- dren of the present generation will find it a treasure of information and realtistic stories, Therefore, in purchasing the “His- tory of Natrona County” an invest- ment is made; a volume is added to one’s library which will never cease to pay regular dividends in enter- tainment and knowledge of early day affairs.
