This is Boot Hill Cemetery 1871 - 1879. This plot is a monument to those who died with their boots on, and were buried with their boots on. "To any Traveler who may pass this way, and climb this lonely hill and say a prayer for us who early found our rest upon the prainics wind swept ageless breast. Weep not of us who early made our beds, wrapped in our blankets, saddles for our heads. For we are happy here, secure and still, locked in this rock strewn silent sun-baked hill." Josephine McIntire in "Boot Hill." |
