When the first issue of the Daily Boomerang came off of Bill Nye’s “lemon squeezer” press, March 11, 1881, it is unlikely that either he or his friends and backers in the Republican Party anticipated that over 100 years later their addition to the Fourth Estate would continue to flourish, and even become the “alma mater” of many noted journalists. Those 10 decades brought many significant changes in the West — including statehood for the Wyoming Territory — and Bill Nye’s Boomerang chronicled the events for Laramie readers, evolving into a daily newspaper that today brings events at home and around the globe to subscribers’ doorsteps every morning by 7 o’clock. The Boomerang’s founding g and early years are detailed in “Bill Nye: His Own Life Story,” which is comprised of Nye’s descriptions of his life experiences with continuity supplied by his son, Frank Wilson Nye: “ … Bill Nye founded the Boomerang in Laramie City in 1881. He edited the newspaper for a company and published it in the loft over a livery stable. ‘That’s why they called it a stock company,’ he said. “A sign at the foot of the stairs leading to the loft directed visitors to the newspaper by saying, ‘Twist the gray mule’s tail and take the elevator.’ “Nye named the paper the Boomerang; a name also held by his mule, because, Nye said, ‘I never know where he is going to strike.’ Enjoy all that Wyoming has to offer - from cowboy boots to hiking shoes and mountain bikes.
