Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming with a population of around 53,000, and is the largest city in the state. In 1867, Cheyenne was platted by General Grenville M. Dodge for construction of the Union Pacific Railroad.1 The construction of the railroad brought people into the city and it became known as the Magic City of the Plains because it sprang up overnight. However, with the continued construction of the railroad to the west, some of the residents uprooted and headed that way. Those that stayed in the area were joined by different types of residents who may have been less than idealistic residents for the city, such as displaced cowboys, transient railroad gangs, thieves, and gamblers. The city was named after the Native American Cheyenne Nation, which was the most prominent in the Great Plains area.
