All about Wyoming
The setting of
Stone Fox
By John Reynolds Gardiner
This is a map of Wyoming. Wyoming is a
large state in the Western United
States. Not many people live there...
But it’s BEAUTIFUL!
The Grand Tetons, a mountain range in western
Wyoming.
There is still snow in May!
The Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountains are beautiful at sunset!
This view is from Yellowstone lake in Yellowstone
National Park. This park is located in the
northwestern corner of Wyoming.
Old Faithful and
Devil’s Tower
Two very popular places in
Wyoming. Do you know either
of these places?
Watch out for buffalo!
You will find buffalo, bears, elk, wolves and
other wild animals in Wyoming. Be careful!
(Buffalo smell REALLY bad!!)
WOW!
Some of the beautiful
sights that will amaze
you!
Mountains and Valleys
Two beautiful
views in Wyoming.

Meet the Characters
• Little Willy: A 10-year old boy who will
always help if there is a problem.
• Searchlight: Little Willy’s faithful dog.
• Grandfather: Little Willy’s only family.
• Doc Smith: The town doctor.
• Stone Fox: The mysterious Indian from the
Wyoming wilderness.
The Old West
This is what Little Willy’s town may have
looked like in Stone Fox.
Going to School
Little Willy’s school was probably a small,
one room schoolhouse where all the
children in the town went together.

The Potato Plant
• Potatoes grow ABOVE and BELOW the ground!
Potato Farmers use a PLOW to get
the potatoes when they are ready.
In the time of
Stone Fox,
farmers used
animals to pull the
plow (look at the
picture).
Today, farmers
use machines.
Plowing Potatoes
Little Willy
probably used
a plow like the
picture to the
left.
The potatoes
to the right are
ready to sell.
Stone Fox is a character
as well as the title of
the book. He is a Native
American from the
Shoshone tribe. This
tribe lived in the area of
the United States where
Wyoming is now located.
The Big Race
Little Willy and Stone Fox
participate in a race. To the
left is a Samoyed - the type
of dog that Stone Fox has.
Above is an example of a dog
sled used in the race.
Little Willy rides through the town?
You might imagine this scene from the book!
