John Gunnison and John C Fremont Signatures
1844- John Gunnison and John C Fremont must have ran into each other at some point near moore. They signed their names along with an unknown person along with MARRE. All i can read is W.W. Plus a donkey drawing and a bunch of depictions of rock art which they did oh also it says MARRE which i don't know the meaning of.

Maybe whoever wrote it had enough of their donkey? Or maybe enough of the desert? Maybe it's even a name.
Also interesting is that Gunnison was born in 1812.

Very interesting!! Marre had a date by it and no signature from that year.
What a great name that would be. jk that would be terrible!!
Julien's date of 1830
I also find it interesting that Gunnison was born in 1812

This brings up a question I have had for a time. How do you know if a signature or petroglyph is authentic. What is to stop a person from etching Butch Cassidy into the rock to make others think it is real? Just a thought... we used to carve "Ted Bundy was here" into aspen trees up on the Manti Lasal growing up. Wonder how many female campers lost sleep after seeing one.

An honest person showed us it and said it was there when his grandfather found it. in the 1850's after the explorers had dispersed.
