A Tribute to Captain Gunnison
Capt. John W. Gunnison was born in Goshen, NH on November 11, 1812 died October 25, 1853 in Filmore Utah.
It is written in the Goshen, New Hampshire Bicentennial 1769-1969, “The opinion is growing among historians that Captain John W. Gunnison’s name should be included in that heroic group of Western explorers, Zebulon Pike, Stephen Long, and John C. Fremont”.
“Captain Gunnison’s expedition of 1853 has been regarded as a great achievement in the annals of Western History. It gave to future generations a connection link between east and west. He traveled over the westward route which led through mountain wilderness and over rough terrain of unbroken trails, making a careful survey of the country and its resources. His trail, through the region known today as Colorado and Utah, is well marked by memorials and monuments, which perpetuate his name. Two towns, a national forest, a canyon, a mountain peak, an island, a pass, a valley, and a butte all bear his name”.
Five caches have been placed, three by us to pay tribute to this native son, 2 other caches have been placed by others cachers in sites that are historically significant to the theme of these caches... These will provide the hiker and adventure with some scenic areas to explore in Goshen.
This is number 3 of the series called Four Corners Cemetery. The Captain is buried in a lonely grave at Fillmore, Utah. More recently it has been marked with a suitable stone and a memorial erected to his memory. In the family cemetery lot in Goshen a descriptive epitaph is inscribed upon the granite shaft that marks the resting places of his father and mother.
