Live Hangings - Denver Airport August 2010 newsletter on Colorado attractions:


"Cañon City, Colorado: The death penalty has long been a fixture of American justice, and here you can witness a live hanging, then snap a photo of the unfortunate victim as he swings lifelessly from his noose - perhaps not the perfect postcard to send home to mom, but certainly memorable..."

I just love Americana!!!!
