The history of Burning Cock
----
Settlers drove west in promise of big gold, left the North with its laws and levies with little more than a prayer in their heart and a few oxen. Folks tended to travel in groups, and the still untamed land was filled with savages of all sorts. One night, a band of us formed a wagon circle in a canyon. Several of the young braves came in to raid our camp. It was a slaughter. The rest of us made our way west, abandoned supplies, food, just made our way out of the mess. We found a little place where we would make our last stand, filled with the smell of black powder smoke and burning ash. Before the indians could scalp us as they did to many of our women and children, a giant burning rooster appeared before us, burning the savages alive.

In honor of that faithful night, we built our town on that spot and dubbed it Burning Cock, after the giant flaming rooster that had saved us.
