Book excerpt: As pipelines and other components of our nation's infrastructure are constructed, significant historic and prehistoric sites often lie in the path of developments. Recently, the 760-mile-long Overland Pass Pipeline was constructed to convey natural gas liquids between southwestern Wyoming and west-central Kansas. Pipeline to the Past describes the archaeological excavations and historic documentation efforts conducted for the Overland Pass Pipeline project under the mandates of historic preservation laws. Pipeline to the Past is written for the general public, for whom the fruits of historic preservation legislation are intended, and provides a cultural overview of the past in southern Wyoming, northwestern Colorado, and western Kansas. The results of the investigations are integrated into the broader picture of regional history and prehistory and are summarized in "timeline" charts for easy comparisons.
