In June of 2005, my Dad and I jumped in his truck on a fine June morning, armed with minimal digital photography equipment, a remote flash, lunch, my Mom made, water, bug repellant and a mission.
We where heading up to the Brotherston area to identify a couple of government named swamp lands, referenced to in Montezuma’s journals, as well as shoot any relevant headstones in the 3 local cemeteries & to have a look at the properties and home Montezuma bought, built & developed as well as brought his family up on.
During our visit to Brotherston, Dad & I met the wife of the current "Brothers Gore" owner and their infant daughter (the Fry’s) & well the house has been largely renovated by them, I was able to visited Montezuma’s “Closet of Solitude” (spoken of often within his journals), located under the stairs going up stairs, off the kitchen.
Attached are photos of the house from around the property as it looked on our visit in June of 2005 as well as one old early shot. Elsewhere on our Ruller YaBB you can view his home, property & post office, all photographed between the end of the 19th century & beginning of the 20th.
