Boot Hill Cemetery, Buffalo hunters, railroad workers, drifters and soldiers scrapped and fought, leading to the shootings where men died. The people killed were buried so quickly that undertaker dug shallow graves and buried the people with their boots on, so when it would rain you would see the boots sticking up through the ground from the soil erosion.
