I'm going to guess: The trail name is the Chisholm Trail and it went into Cheyenne, WY.

Well my grandmother helped. She knew it had to be one or the other. The Chisholm Trail is more famous than the Goodnight-Loving Trail so I went with that one on my first guess. I do admit that a lot of times I google my answers as well.

Okay now I am officially able to ask my question, being that I have answered two in a row, one in turn and one out of. So here it goes:

What unique monument is located just south of Lusk, WY? and who is it in honor of ? (2 part question)

You are Correct Now it's your turn to ask a question.

The monument which was errected in 1964, is the only known such monument in the U.S. paying tribute to such an occupation.

Ok, I searched for one and think I have a decent question. Start your research!


In the 1860's, a profesional gunfighter landed in WY and teamed up with founders of a town that also appointed themselves as the justice of the peace and marshall. The man in question was deputy marshall.

These men were very rough and crude and ruled with an iron fist. They established a saloon and it became their hangout. Their "laws" were so hard and violent that the saloon was nicknamed.

In the end, his own greed and violence caught up with him and upon his hanging he asked the vigilantes to remove his boots. His last words were “my mother always said that I would die with my shoes on.”


SO.... two part question.
1. Who was the gunfighter/deputy marshall and
2. what was the nickname for the saloon.

No problem, I actually forgot about this thread and thought no one would mind if I asked a question since I did answer one.

I usually check here every day but I've been kinda busy packing for my move to Cheyenne in a couple of weeks. In fact I should be packing right now.

1.Steve “Big Steve” Long
2.The Bucket of Blood”
The Lynching of Big Steve Long

I always heard gunfights never happened--guess they were wrong! They said it was Hollywood
