excerpted from the traveling book…

What is the history of your destination? And why do you want to go there?

Does the local area have something in history that is of interest to you now or that would be real fun to share with your friends when you get home?

For example in Cheyenne WY on one of the main streets of the down town stands the old federal building [circa 1900]. The famous or maybe infamous notable is that the office that Tom Horn ‘confessed’ in is there. Tom Horn had been accused of a ‘murder for hire’ of an older kid or younger adult. Tom Horn was the last person [legally] hanged in Wyoming. The story if you have not heard it before was made into a movie starring Steve McQueen.

There are many locals who still believe that Tom Horn had been framed in order to shut him up as he knew a lot of the ‘dirt’ on some of the prominent people in the area.
