"Emma Crawford came to Manitou Springs in 1889 searching for a cure for her tuberculosis in the the area’s famed cold-water mineral springs. She fell in love with the charming mountain town and her dying wish was to be buried on top of Red Mountain. Unfortunately, Emma succumbed to her illness in 1891. Her lover, a civil engineer on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway named William Hildebrand, honored her wishes. With the help of eleven other townspeople, William carried Emma’s coffin up the 7,200 foot slope and buried her near the summit of Red Mountain.
​
In 1929, after years of harsh winters and spring rains, Emma and her coffin came racing down the mountainside. The young children who happened upon her remains found only the casket handles, a nameplate, and a few bones."

Where were the Munsters?

Bit of trivia - manitou means god or spirit in Algonquian languages, ranging from Virginia to the Canadian Prairies. Some names with that root are Manitou Lake, IN, Manitowoc, WI, and Lake Manitoba and the province of Manitoba, and Manitou Springs, CO. Most of those names came from the Ojibwe language.

Some prominent Ojibwe authors, novelist Louise Erdrich, activist Dennis Banks.

Manituba, an the other hand, means low, loud brassy noise, like when a moose farts.

This is related to the Navaho phrase "ya'ah tahay, hatakhai'ah", which roughly translates as "how ya doing, blanket-butt"


BTW, if you are close enough to hear a moose fart, you are WAY too close. And don't fall for the "pull my antler" thing.
