American Woman Part III: BOTG During this hunt, you have digitally visited the gravesites of 20 American women and girls, and read some of their stories. Their final resting places are scattered across 18 states. Visit one or more of these gravesites in person and you will receive a prize for each one you visit - if you get there first! There is only one prize per location, so if you are near one of these cemeteries and think you can find the headstone, or want to send someone BOTG, don't waste any time getting there! I will announce when a location has been claimed and by whom. Send a photo of yourself with the headstone to me at forgottenhistoryhunt@gmail.com to claim your prize. I would like to share the photos on MW, but can hide your face if you prefer.
There are 20 grave sites, and you have seen images of them all. I doubt all will be visited.
With a limited number of prizes left to award (I'm not saying how many!), Part III of the American Woman hunt will be open for submissions until I run out of prizes :-) These are the states where there are headstones from the hunt:
AZ, CA, CO, IN, KS(2), LA, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, ND, NY(2), OH, UT, VA, WA, WY

Part III of the hunt will remain open for submissions until Sunday July 17th. If you think you want to visit one of the cemeteries for an additional prize, please submit your photo to me by the end of the day on Sunday. After that, I will tally up the prizes, package them and mail them out to everyone.
Also, if you have never won a prize for one of my hunts, please be sure to send me the name and address of where to send your prizes.
Thanks, and I hope to see you again for my next hunt which will probably be posted in a few weeks, but I will announce it ahead of time.

One more grave site visited!
Congratulations to Mofinn, who stopped in to visit the grave of Mary Agnes Merrill, aka Belle Flynn, (Part II, #8) in Helena, MT!
Notice her Mysterious Writings T-shirt and copy of the Helena's Women Walking Tour - a serious treasure-hunter for sure :-)

Prizes for the American Woman hunt were mailed out today, so keep an eye on your mailbox :-)
Thank you all for participating. I hope you had fun researching and learning about these American women from years ago.
The next hunt will be all armchair and released all at once :-) I will let you know when I am getting ready to post it.

Thanks, SterCox! I have not done this particular walking tour - yet. A few years back I did a guided walking tour in another part of Helena - it was very interesting. I will do this one some day!

I made an error - Part III will remain open until 7/17. Any additional prizes will be sent out after that.
Sorry for the misunderstanding!
