Gatewood, for dealing in good faith, was banished by Miles to a small fort in northern Wyoming and obscurity.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_B._Gatewood" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_</span><span class="invisible">B._Gatewood</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/WyomingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WyomingHistory</span></a></p>

The bag has never been found. Years later Osborne entered politics and was elected governor of Wyoming. To his 1893 inauguration he wore the shoes that a dozen years earlier had been a man."</p><p>Osborne was a medical doctor no less.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Wyoming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wyoming</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/WyomingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WyomingHistory</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PeopleAreWeird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeopleAreWeird</span></a> </p><p>Source: <a href="https://history.howstuffworks.com/american-history/big-nose-george-wyoming-governor-shoes-human-skin.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">history.howstuffworks.com/amer</span><span class="invisible">ican-history/big-nose-george-wyoming-governor-shoes-human-skin.htm</span></a></p>
