Here is William Talbot bench!
The Panguitch Quilt Walk History
In 1864 a group of hardy pioneers braved the mountain snows to save their families from starvation. This group of men encountered snows that were impassable. According to their faith they knelt on a quilt in a prayer circle. The answer to their prayer was to walk on the quilts, thus we honor seven men as the Panguitch Quilt Walkers. They are Jessie Louder, Alexander Matheson, William Talbot, Thomas Jefferson Adair, Thomas Morgan Richards, John Lowe Butler, and John Paul Smith.
The park contains an impressive memorial statue, plantings, seven benches dedicated to each member of the rescue team, as well as inscriptions on the life story of each person.
