Our discoveries from the 1911 journal of Henry Stuart took us to DeLamar Idaho, once a bustling mining town and now an almost entirely non existing ghost town. His story starts there and then takes us to Alabama where Henry built an unusual beehive shaped hut, was known as “The Hermit of Montrose”, and the barefooted old man. He made an impression on many people including well known public figures.
Part 1 begins with our road trip to find DeLamar, Idaho where Henry’s journal was taken back to the very place it began in 1911.
Photos from our trip to DeLamar in the summer of 2021. Notice Henry’s diary; back in the town where he began writing.
Photos from our visit to Silver City, Idaho in June of 2021
Here’s a small sampling of the thousands of Mormon Crickets that surrounded us as we walked the road where DeLamar once existed.
