"Believed to be the last home of "Buffalo Bob Thompson". South central Montana. Built around 1830 and abandoned when the fur trades declined sometime after 1875. A hunting party of the Crow Indians once saw Bob dancing in the snow naked, shook their heads and rode away muttering about 'crazy white man'. Perhaps Ol Bob is still 'out there some where', dancing naked in the snow. I'd like to think so."

    Great DOF--which supports center usage--Is this the basis for the movie DWWolves?
