| Six Hundred EightyEighth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Augustus George Hazard |
 |
Augustus George Hazard (April 28, 1802 - May 7, 1868), known as Colonel Augustus Hazard, was an American manufacturer of gunpowder and the namesake of Hazardville, Connecticut.
In 1827 he relocated to New York City, where he was a commission agent engaged in the sale of gunpowder and other products. In 1837 he bought into a gunpowder production company that had been established two years earlier on the Scantic River in the town of Enfield, Connecticut. He assumed sole ownership of the company in 1843. The business was known thereafter as the Hazard Powder Company and the village that supported it became known as Hazardville.
Just seems a little too ironic, doesn't it? Hazard/Gunpowder. Well you may wish you had some gunpowder to blow up this cache once you find it. But first, arrive at the Graves Cemetery (would it *be* a cemetery without the graves?) and walk on in. The coordinates simply lead you into the cemetery grounds. Walk around and see if you can spot a hazard, then answer the question to get to the nano's final coordinates.
