I really like the story of how Dr. Bowie bought her land. She knew that
it could be reclaimed, but her brother didn't believe it and told her
she was nuts. She had the "last laugh", as it explains in the visitor
center. I think there's another story behind her debts, which were all
paid off with special land grants to the city for buildings. I'll bet
she was a fun person to know.
