I am looking for information on the story of Ezra Kind.
The Thoen stone was found near Spearfish around
1887. It read...
"Come to these hills in 1833 -- 7 of us -- Delacompt -- Ezra Kind -- G.W. Wood -- T. Brown -- R. Kent -- Wm. King -- Indian Crow -- all dead but me, Ezra Kind -- killed by Indians beyond the high hill -- Got our gold. June 1834 -- Got all the gold we could carry -- our ponies all got by the Indians -- I have lost my gun and nothing to eat and -- Indians hunting me."
I just recently became aware of this "legend"
If anyone can point me to info I would greatly appreciate it. I have read
what is available by googling "Ezra Kind". Just wondering if someone has
more info or would like to discuss this story.
