A fellow from my community was murdered in Creed for killing Robert Ford, who had killed Jesse James. Ed Capehart O'Kelly has a memorial stone, not a grave marker, in the Patton, Missouri Cemetery where I shall be buried.

Havn't been to Creed yet, been to a bunch of places in San Jauns and ridden the Durango Silverton RR.

Very Interesting !! But what did they use to power the saw mills back then, Horses walking in a circle ??

Thanks for the video, I'll watch it at home later.

Been to Creed a few times, very history rich, (probably tourist inflated) history!

There's a cemetery there, you can find many of the people noted in the history and museum there. Lots of babies, born in the winter was not likely to survive. Diseases, probably flu, wiped out many in the same time frames.

One time we had ridden our dirt bikes into town, stopped at a cafe/saloon for lunch, probably about 2:00PM.

Not many people inside, but one table with 4 men, all extremely drunk, a couple with their heads down on the table, caught our attention. You can't do that in Texas!

There was a Budweiser truck in front of the place. In a few minutes we hear someone trying to move the truck, obviously didn't know how to drive it, dragging the trailer brakes, grinding the gears...

It was the town marshal. The truck had someone blocked in their parking place for the last couple hours.

The marshal came in, kicked the chairs of a couple of the drunks, tried to wake them up, finally got some response from one of them, told him he needs to get to "Getup, get that ##@#$# truck out of the street, it's blocking the road!!!"

Getting no more than a head roll and back down on the table, the marshel left mumbling.

Made us feel a little better about riding unregistered dirt bikes in town! LOL

Also been to Creede a few times on motorcycle trips, nice area.

Our son was there fishing this fall, we plan on going through on the way to Arizona if the weather cooperates!

The cliffs are solid silver,
With wond'rous wealth untold;
And the beds of running rivers
Are lined with glittering gold.
While the world is filled with sorrow,
And hearts must break and bleed
It's day all day in the day-time,
And there is no night in Creede.
