[edit] Outline

I'm excited - If there is ever an article that has a future as a featured article, this is it. Here is a quick outline of topics that we can address. Its been quite a while since my Wyoming history class in 4th grade, so forgive me if I miss something important. I'm not sure what protocol is here - I don't know if these should go in as subject headers in the article proper, or if all that should happen here. Please feel free to move it if you wish.
