Early life
[edit]Yellowstone days
[edit]Rescue of Truman C. Everts
[edit]Truman C. Everts was a member of the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition of 1870 and got separated from the remainder of the party near Heart Lake in September 1870. Without horse, food or shelter, he survived 37 days in Yellowstone. Although the Washburn party left others to search for Everts, that search was unsuccessful. When the Washburn party returned to Helena, Montana and Evert's friends learned of his disappearance, a reward of $600 was offered. Jack Baronett and George A. Pritchett responded to the challenge and began searching for Everts near Gardiner, Montana eventually locating him some October 16, 1870 somewhere near Blacktail Deer Creek. After nursing Everts back to limited health, they transported him back to Helena for a full recovery. Baronett and Pritchett were celebrated as heros. Everts lived until 1901 dying at the age of 85[1].
