Mother Featherlegs Shepherd
Turn south and go 10 miles on dirt road about 1.7 miles west of
junction of US Highway 20/85 and 18/20

Here lies Mother Featherlegs Shepherd

So called, as in her ruffled pantalettes she looked like a feather-legged chicken in a high wind. Was a roadhouse ma’am here on the Cheyenne-Black Hills Stage Line.

An outlaw confederate, she was murdered by “Dangerous Dick Davis, the Terrapin” in 1879 for a $1500 cache.

Dedicated May 17, 1964.
