Sue Castaneda talked about her book, The Hitching Post Inn: Wyoming’s Second Capitol, in which she looks at the history of the Hitching Post Inn in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was the place where legislators and lobbyists would sleep, eat, and debate issues. It is believed that many laws passed in Wyoming weren’t debated on the floor of the Wyoming Capitol, but at the Hitching Post Inn. Del Peterson, former manager of the inn, also talked about its history.
