Fisticuffs and politics? Politics in Wyoming can be heated at times but is usually sedate. But not always... Join Jeremy and John as they chat about the wildest day in the history of the Wyoming Legislature. This red-letter day in 1913 during the 12th Wyoming Legislature included a riot on the floor of the Wyoming House of Representatives. List in as our intrepid historians explore the events that led to the legendary riot, some insights into the Wyoming legislative process, and why there is no "official" record of it ever happening...
