   I have heard there are some Tom Sun items at the Carbon County Museum in   
   Rawlins.  It's the museum near the old frontier prison museum.  Every time I   
   stop the place is closed. Have you been there and can you confirm if there   
   items once owned by Tom Sun in that museum?  Also, the Tom Sun Ranch at   
   Devil's Gate is now owned by the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons).  I   
   stopped there once late on a summer day and though the place was closed, I   
   walked around to see the old ranch buildings.  Do you know if you get a   
   lecture from the Mormons on their beliefs when the place is open?  I ask   
   because the jail in Liberty, Missouri which once held Jesse James also held   
   Joseph Smith.  This place is now owned by the Mormons and a speech about the   
   Mormons is given with the tour.  About half way through, I looked at my   
   watch and said "Oops gotta go".
