Milton Green Sublette, was a son of Phillip Allen Sublette and Isabella Whitley. Milton had four brothers and three sisters. He and his brothers were mountain men, explorers, fur trappers, fur traders, and business men during the 1820's to 1840's. In 1834, during one of his adventures in the west he injured his foot and in 1835 he had to have his left leg amputated due to the inury. A friend made him an artificial leg made of cork and in the spring of 1836 he went back to the mountains where he died on April 5, 1837 and was buried near Fort William (named for his brother William Lewis Sublette) on the Laramie River where it meets the Platte River.
