Wyoming State Flag
A bison on a blue field bordered in white and red. The state seal branded on the bison. The woman represents the state motto "Equal Rights" and the two men represent cattle ranchers and miners. The words "Livestock", "Mines", "Grains" and "Oil" represent Wyoming's wealth. The eagle and shield show support for the United States. The dates 1869 and 1890 tell when Wyoming organized as a territory of the United States and when it became a state.

Song of theState of Wyoming
Written by C.E. WinterComposed by G.E. Knapp
I
In the far and mighty West,Where the crimson sun seeks rest,There's a growing splendid State that lies above,On the breast of this great land;Where the massive Rockies stand,There's Wyoming young and strong, the State I love!
Chorus
Wyoming, Wyoming! Land of the sunlight clear!Wyoming, Wyoming! Land that we hold so dear!Wyoming, Wyoming! Precious art thou and thine!Wyoming, Wyoming! Beloved State of mine!
II
In the flowers wild and sweet,Colors rare and perfumes meet;There's the columbine so pure, the daisy too,Wild the rose and red it springs,White the button and its rings,Thou art loyal for they're red and white and blue.
III
Where thy peaks with crowned head.Rising till the sky they wed,Sit like snow queens ruling wood and stream and plain;'Neath thy granite bases deep,'Neath thy bosom's broadened sweep,Lie the riches that have gained and brought thee fame.
IV
Other treasures thou dost hold,Men and women thou dost mould;True and earnest are the lives that thou dost raise,Strengthen thy children though dost teach,Nature's truth thou givest to each,Free and noble are thy workings and thy ways.
V
In the nation's banner freeThere's one star that has for meA radiance pure and splendor like the sun;Mine it is, Wyoming's star,Home it leads me near or far;O Wyoming! All my hear and love you've won!
