There were two Halem brothers who homesteaded in Lander around 1900. One was married the other was not. The property we bought has the remains of the cabin of the single brother on it. My husband and I have tried to find out information about the brother but have not been able to find out much except for one story. The story goes that he liked to go into town and have a few drinks and then would fall asleep in the back of his wagon. His horse knew the way home and would pull the wagon all three miles back to the homestead without any guidance. Don’t know if the story is completely true or not but if so that was one smart horse.
