Where's it at??

I discovered this several years ago and only recently did a search on the name and found some interesting old west Arizona history - treasure, double crosses, jail escapes and a little mystery. The name on the headstone is Zwing Hunt.

 

So, where's it at??

Don't know but can't wait to read the story, or maybe see the movie.

I am a big Arizona history buff, but I don't recall ever reading that name in any of my books. I guess I will have to do a little searching. David

Here's the link to one of the stories about Zwing Hunt. I asked the local rancher what he know about the marker and he told me that the grave was once marked only by a carving on a tree at the head of the grave. At some point a person cutting firewood cut the tree down. The Cochise County Historical Society feared the location of the grave would be lost without the a marker so they placed what is in my picture. There are many variations of the story but this is the one I found most detailed.

The grave marker is located in Hunt Canyon in the Chiricahua Mountains.
