Randy tells about an old time mountain man, business man, Earl Crouch, who mined for gold in the area west of Cody, WY. The story starts with the year 1917.
Earl and Randy’s Granddad, Earl, were good friends, and as a result, Randy got to know Earl and heard many of his stories. Earl Crouch’s mine was not far from where Randy grew up, just in another drainage of the North Fork of the Shoshone river.
