A very interesting cemetery. Be sure to check out the Buffalo Soldiers memorial. Dedicated to the first black soldiers to fight in American wars. A guard at the cemetery gave me a great free tour here!

Dry. Dusty. What an awesome experience! Wait, no, it's a cemetery. And there's a new headstone of an old gunslinger. This place needs fireworks or a bar. ~yawn~

John Wesley Hardin Grave

John Wesley Hardin (1853-1895) killed more men than Billy the Kid or Jesse James. He once even killed a man for just snoring too loud. This site is for western buffs who dream of tipping their hats to the best gunslinger who ever lived.

The grave site is imprisoned in a stone and iron bar structure, perhaps to keep John Wesley Hardin's revived zombie corpse from wreaking more mayhem.

Concordia Cemetery

The final resting place of many madams, merchants, tycoons, and gunslingers (including the frequently looted grave of John Wesley Hardin). When I was a kid, we had a superstition -- if you couldn't hold your breath during the drive past the cemetery, the bandits would rise from their graves and gitcha.
