It was purchased in 1872 by John P. Lower, Denver gunsmith, from a Ute chief named Honkapkna, or Honko for short. He came into the gunshop, slapped the medal on the counter and said "Heap bad medicine. Bullet, him knock me dead, sqaws pour heap and heaps of water on me, no dead after two hours, no want, bad medicine, trade!" Lower bought the medal and it was his most treasured possesion until his death in 1917. Saltus bought if from Lower's son, Clarence. Lower also had another Lincoln, a Grant and a Johnson medal that Saltus may have purchased. See more on this at my web page above. I have detailed history on this medal.

You WERE a bunny for sure. Yes, I am so glad we grew up when we didn't have to worry about all the "stuff" that is going on in our world today. Those sure were good times. Thanks for taking me back.
