SocraticGadfly: Denver history for DNC conventioneers

Denver history for DNC conventioneers

Democratic delegates, alternates, national committee personnel, etc., either cheating time away from the convention, or else arriving early or staying late have plenty of Denver history to ingest. Beyond the obvious, such as going to Golden for the Coors brewery and/or Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave and museum, there’s plenty of other stuff.

In a bit of irony for Democrats, that includes an early city history of party bossism and a threatened political “war.” Beyond that, Denver, as a mining town, was of course involved with attempted unionization of miners.
