New Bones Solve An Old Western Mystery

They finally found Everett Ruess...

I am glad the mystery of this dreamy wanderer has finally been solved...but a little sad, too.

He had such talent, and would have been interesting to follow as he matured.

Now we find out he was robbed by some Indians (what a petty reason to die), knocked on the head and his body stuffed in a crevice.

Part of me would prefer to imagine him forever wandering about the back canyons, sketching and thinking...and signing himself 'Nemo' as he goes. Never aging...mysteries are like that.
