Sagebrush Rebellion history

I've added significant history of the key Sagebrush Rebellion years. My books for reference are mostly tucked away in storage, alas; I had the pain and pleasure of backing Sen. Hatch's legislative aides on the topic for much of that time, having been a member of the Utah Wilderness Commission before I joined Hatch's Washington staff.

Generally this is an overlooked and under-reported chunk of history. Perhaps it would be better to put this into an entry for "Sagebrush Rebellion" connected to this entry. We need to add other key players, including especially Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., since Nevada was a hotbed of hotheads on the issue.

This may be the most complete entry on the Sagebrush Rebellion so far. --Edarrell 19:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@ “”helped work around restrictive environmental laws to help mining, ranching, and real estate developing industries that created jobs in the states“”

this is ambiguous. DId they actually create jobs as a result of this intervention, or where they just job-creators in the general sense? I get the reading that the jobs were a result of GHWB's intervention. ~~plasticdoor
