It gets more and more wild:
Big Nose George was killed by mob violence, despite already being sentenced by the court to hang to death for murdering 2 lawmen
The physician who performed the autopsy decided for some ungodly reason to have Big Nose George’s skin made into a pair of shoes. what doctor does this???
the doctor later gets elected governor. Guess which shoes he wears to his inauguration ceremony?
not to be outdone, his 15 year old assistant, Lillian Heath, keeps the top part of George’s skull. She keeps it all her life & uses it as an ash tray, a pen holder, and a doorstop. She goes on to become the first doctor in the state.

here’s a closeup of the shoes, which are now on display in the county museum
