Re: MtMan-List: Jeremiah Johnston Reburial

["John L. Allen" <jlallen@snet.net>]

Matt,

The reburial of the old liver-eater was at Trail Town, a collection of
historial Wyoming buildings on the edge of Cody, Wyoming. There are several
other mountain men monuments there, including one for John Colter (no, he
isn't buried there--just a monument since he was the first white man to
visit the town site of Cody). Trail Town doesn't have a website that I could
locate, but their address is: Trail Town, 1831 Demaris Drive, Cody, Wyoming
82414. The phone number is (307)587-5302. The owner-operator of Trail Town
is an archaeologist named Bob Edgar. He is a delightful guy, very
knowledgeable about mountain men and western history in general. If you
contact him directly with your request, I'll bet he would be able to help
you.

Good hunting.

John
