Bozeman Tombstone Text: In Memory of John M. Bozeman Aged 32 years Killed by Blackfeet Indians on the Yellowstone April 18 1868 (Evidence now disputes the cause of death attributing it to his partner - not the Blackfeet.) John M. Bozeman left Cherokee Co GA prior to the Civil War to search for his father who (unbeknownst to John M. had died aboard ship) headed for the 49er gold rush in California.
John M. Bozeman was grandson of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman who were living in Cherokee Co Georgia in the 1830's following the removal of the Cherokee during the TRAIL OF TEARS. John M. became a wagon master leading wagon trains through the Powder River area of Wyoming from Cheyenne to Sheridan and into the gold fields of Gallatin MT and was one of the first settlers of Bozeman and from whom the town takes it's name
