Geocache Description:

A bison tube containing a log sheet.

This cached is placed on Tennessee Street where somewhere underneath this street lies "Mountain" Tom Clark. If you travel east down Tennessee Street about 0.2 miles you will find a historical marker near the Florence Cemetery that reads:

"Mountain" Tom Clark
Hanged September 4, 1872

This notorious outlaw gang leader who boasted that no one would ever run over Tom Clark lies buried near the center of Tennessee Street where now all who pass by do run over him. In 1872 Clark, who terrorized helpless citizens during the Civil War, confessed to at least nineteen murders, including a child, and was hanged with two companions. Although graves were already dug in a nearby field, outraged townspeople interred Clark beneath Tennessee Street thus bringing his boast to nought.
