Thanks Elsie.

I live an hour or so north of “Colter’s Hell,” which was the derisive term applied to the Yellowstone Park area after Colter spent time there.

When he headed back east and described the place, few wanted to believe his reports of hot springs, bubbling cauldrons, geisers and the like: hence Colter’s Hell.

You probably know all that. What a life (albeit short) he lived, right?
