Eastern California Museum in Independence, California

100 years ago, if you lived long enough in the rural American West, it was entirely reasonable, that at some point, you might find yourself with a ever shrinking amount of teeth and a surplus of coyotes. Such was the position George Washington Hancock found himself in the early part of the twentieth century in Independence, California. The Eastern California Museum is located less than a mile off Highway 395 in the town of Independence, California.
