Boothill Swords Park Cemetery
Boothill Swords Park Cemetery Review
Atop the Rimrocks, north of downtown, lie the graves of H.M. Muggins Taylor, the army scout who carried word of Custer's defeat through 180 mi of hostile territory; Western explorer Yellowstone Kelly; and several outlaws executed in territorial days. A sign tells the story of Crow warriors who blindfolded their horses before riding them off what's now known as Sacrifice Cliff in hopes that the gods would end a smallpox epidemic.
