It’s a short hike along a tree-lined trail from the trading post up to the grave. Here, surrounded by an iron fence and overlooking three states, lies the venerable Western hero. As luck would have it, the day we were there on Lookout Mountain, we witnessed a trick-shooting display, complete with a “kidnapping the fair maiden” scenario which Cody would have enjoyed—a fitting finale to our Cody odyssey.
When we finally pulled back into my sister’s driveway in Ohio, she asked if we had, indeed, found the “stolen house.” We all came to the conclusion that the house is in good hands. If Cody himself can’t be in Cody, Wyoming, at least a real part of his legacy and early life is found there.
