Today, 24 June 2009, they installed the D. Michael Thomas bronze sculpture of Nate Champion north of the Gatchell Museum complex on Fort Street, in Buffalo, WY. Covered with a canvas tarp, the imposing sculpture will remain hidden until the formal dedication to be held at Noon on Saturday, June 27, 2009, during Living History Days.
Nate Champion was born 29 September 1857 near Round Rock, Texas. He was listed as a rustler by the WYOMING STOCKGROWERS in the early 1890s. And he and a fellow cowboy, Reuben "Nick" Ray were killed at the KC cabin on April 9, 1892, by the Invaders.
