He later was a Pony Express rider, a scout for General Albert S. Johnston, and an Overland Stage driver. In Wilson, Uncle Nick was the first Presiding Elder for the Mormon Church and had the first hotel, general store, and post office.This monument is dedicated summer, 1989, on the 100th anniversary of the pioneer crossing of Teton Pass.HM Number | HM16AX |
