Dugan was born and raised in Darwin, and I suppose that he wished to be buried there. As I looked at his grave, I got a huge feeling of lonesomeness mixed with the memories of this really good man. The last of the pure blood Panamint Shoshone. The last person-to-person link with Indian George who watched the pioneers come into Death Valley in 1849. Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same.
