The grave of Liver Eating Johnston was relocated to Old Trail Town in Cody on June 8, 1974.
I believe that he was origionally buried in Los Angeles in a cemetary on Sepulveda Boulevard.

Most folks knew him as Jeremiah Johnson, however, his real name was John Johnson.

John Johnson was a veteran of the Civil War and when he died in Los Angeles on January 22, 1900, he was buried in the veterans cemetary. He was reburied by Bob Edgar, the creator of Old Trail Town. The reburial was attended by over 2,000 people that included Robert Redford.

You got it Poletop, your turn.

This was the first that I had realized that his name wasn't Jerimiah.. Thanks ElkHunter!

What is the significance of the 41st parallel north, and who was the first to survey this line?

The 41st parallel defines the southernmost border of Wyoming.

The original survey information came from the different surveys of the state (Van Zandt, 1976). The eastern boundary was done in 1869 by Oliver Chaffee, while the southern boundary was started in 1873 by Alonzo Richards and the western boundary in 1874 by Alonzo’s brother, William. Rollin Reeves surveyed the northeastern boundary from northwestern Nebraska to southeastern Montana in 1877. Reeves started the northern boundary in 1878 and completed it in 1879; some corrections were made in 1882. Overall, it took more than 13 years to complete the survey boundary of Wyoming.
