When pointed out by the driver as marking the "last hangout of blazer sam," who had "died with his boots on, and had two cuss-words in his epitaph," it could be discerned now with difficulty and there were travelers, men mostly, who prevailed upon the somewhat garrulous official to "let the horses blow a little while" they scaled the mountain for a closer view. The epitaph itself was worth the climb.
