Piedmont, Wyoming - The Ghost Town Where Butch Cassidy Stayed
Manage episode 395510417 series 3338815
Lois Christiansen & Wendy Peterson still live within walking distance of the Ghost Town of Piedmont, Wyoming where Butch Cassidy met with his lawyer to help a friend facing a murder trial. In 1869, angry railroad workers forced dignitaries headed to the Golden Spike Ceremony in Utah off the tracks and held them there until they were paid. We ask our interviewees what it's like living and growing up in this remote spot so close to a ghost town that played a big part in Western History.
