Elk River Blues

On this episode of the show, Stout and I delve into a subject that has perplexed us for a while, the Yellowstone Kelly Gravesite in Billings, Montana.  Perplexed because with the Yellowstone valley is filled with so much history, why the site is mostly devoted to just one man, Yellowstone Kelly.   Join us as we take a walk through the site narrating our thoughts as we do, and then sit down with the executive director of the Western Heritage Center, Kevin Kooistra, to give us more perspective on the site.
