The Clues.

Clue 2: The home of Brown
 
I believe Brown is ‘Buster Brown’.  This was a cartoon character invented by the Brown shoe company.  A real life boy named Richard Barker played Buster Brown n the shoe adverts.  Richard in later life set up a homestead in the valley of the  Little Snake River.



Richard Barker played Buster Brown.  The 'home of Brown' is the home of Richard Barker.
 



The home of Brown - Buster Brown. was a comic character.

 
The home of ‘Brown’ answer is ‘Little Snake Valley’.

It seems that confirmation for 'Buster Brown' was given in Forrest’s ‘books’ video where he highlights a book about Frederick Remington’s work.  One of Remington’s most famous sculptures was called The Bronco Buster. Forrest owned this sculpture for a while.

Forrest hinted at 'Brown shoes' in Scrapbook 130 where he included several pictures in the piece, all close-ups of 'old brown shoes'.

To the best of my knowledge the clues and answers here have not been published in any other form apart from being detailed together with the rest of the solution within my ebook.

The statements, answers, deductions, evidence and conclusions within this blog are based on my own opinions and my own work.  There has been no input from Forrest Fenn or anyone else involved in the Thrill of the Chase treasure hunt.

  1. I'm a little confused how you got the "home of Brown" clue prior to figuring out where warm waters halt, too far to walk, and canyon down.

    And you seemed to have also skipped the entire first stanza.

    How could you have derived this hoB with only the poem? I don't agree with you on this one.
