Letter from Cheyenne citizens to Hugh McCulloch, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, December 17, 1867
Jack Casement was such a popular figure that he was elected as Wyoming's first Representative in Congress. After a long struggle, Congress ruled that the election was illegal and Casement was never seated. Here Casement forwards a letter from Cheyenne citizens requesting that Luke Murrin be recommended as Assessor for the proposed Territory of Wyoming. Murrin went on to serve as Cheyenne's second mayor beginning in January 1868.
