Who Killed John Bozeman? The Real Story?

The mystery of who killed John Bozeman in 1867 takes a new twist this weekend when historians present a new suspect in the death of the city’s namesake.

The Extreme History Project will stage the original play “Who Killed John Bozeman?” at the Museum of the Rockies on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

The play is the only event scheduled this year to honor the 150th anniversary of the town’s founding in August 1864, when John Bozeman, Elliott Rouse, William Alderson and a handful of men started a town where the Bozeman Trail crossed Sourdough Creek.

The play is a chance to celebrate history, introduce an audience to the city’s founding fathers and take a new look at the mystery surrounding Bozeman’s death, said Marsha Fulton, who co-founded the nonprofit Extreme History Project with Crystal Alegria.
