A little something we did up called Bootleggers Loot, part 1
It is possible to find some more modern money (1920’s era) in the area of Harriman, Wyoming, in Laramie County close to the state line. It is claimed that, back during the days of Prohibition, there was a very profitable operation in the region which provided liquid refreshments for thirsty customers, outlaws included. This area was an ideal location for a drinking establishment.
If the law was closing in, the bad guys simply crossed the state line and were safely out of reach of the long arm of the law; they were in another jurisdiction.
Because of the illegal nature of bootlegging alcohol, it is a sure bet that these lawbreakers cached money or liquor to avoid attention from lawmen.
