The Comstock Grave and Montana Pioneer Memoir
In Bozeman Sunset Hill cemetery a marble marker honors Henry Comstock founder of the Comstock lode who died by his own hand on September 27, 1870. The piece describes his life, the Nevada ore discovery, and his modest Montana burial near John M. Bozeman's grave, with notes from Big Horn expedition survivors and a sober verdict on his legendary fortune.
