Typescript memoirs between cardboard boards with handsewn and taped binding, with annotations in pencil and ink in two hands, describing John Robson's experiences as a young man in Wyoming from 1911 to 1915. Robson's account details life as a sheepherder and camp tender in No Wood, Lone Tree, and several other small Wyoming towns. He describes activities in Wyoming ranging from fishing and freighting to haying and cattle round-ups; he describes several ranches, including the ZL Bar Ranch and the OX Bar Ranch, both owned by a syndicate representing the interests of Scottish-American firms; and relates multiple trips to and from the United States and Scotland, including his final return across the Atlantic during World War I. His narrative provides a detailed account of the social network among Scots in Wyoming from 1911 to 1915. Appended to his narrative is a list of all Hawick men Robson knew to have settled or worked in Wyoming as well as five poems about Wyoming ranch life.
