Legendary John Colter subject of April 3 presentation in Lovell

Two-hundred years ago, a lone mountain man emerged from the wilderness of northwest Wyoming, having survived a perilous, exploratory trip through the wilds of the Big Horn Basin, the Wind River Basin, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone, bringing with him tales of amazing scenes including hot water and steam gushing from the earth. The story of his amazing journey will be told at a special program next Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m. at the National Park Service Cal S. Taggart Visitor Center at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area just east of Lovell. The program is sponsored by the Lovell Chronicle and features historian and Colter enthusiast Gene Bryan of Cody. Read more
