Moses Solomon's Story Moses Solomon’s Story 1830 ~ 1906 As Researched, Written and Compiled by Winniefred Eastlund Arhelger (Moses Salomon’s great granddaughter) Copyright © Winniefred Eastlund Arhelger. All rights reserved. Editor’s note: The one major project Winnie wanted to finish in her life, but was unable to, was this, the story of her great-grandfather Moses Solomon. While her successors may yet, in time, pick up the mantle and polish this into something publishable, this work and these stories have languished too long in her files. Winnie struggled mightily with how to put Moses’ life in proper context of time and place. That struggle is evidenced in the various versions of introductions and prologues she wrote over the years. I don’t think she was happy with any of them, and was always rewriting and revising. Hence this document includes multiple versions in various forms and shapes, including fragments. Missing are full and proper footnotes and citations. While I’ve attempted to annotate quoted text where possible, assume there are at least errors of attribution, if not more. Given that Winnie went to 22 different schools growing up, started this research back in the days of microfilm, and begin to learn and use a PC well into her seventies, the effort is extraordinary. We now know that Winnie shared some of her research with the authors of a book published in 2007: The Cypress Hills (An Island by itself) by Walter Hildebrandt and Brian Hubner, as she is thanked by the authors and her entries are noted in the footnotes. Unfortunately, we do not think that Winnie knew of this publication, she would have enjoyed reading it and seeing her contributions in print. This quote is from a historic landmark sign in Fort Benton. While Winnie had a picture of it, she didn’t use it :-) The Bloodiest Block in the West “It’s a tough town. Walk in the center of the street and keep your mouth shut.” Gunslingers walked this street; few earned a reputation but more earned eternity here that in other fabled western towns. Indians were fair game. Their corpses dumped into the river started war and a massacre. Mose Solomon, saloon owner, eliminated two customers on the corner; Lou Marshall added Hinchley; and several others gunned down in this street “won’t be missed.” Poker was played with six-guns atop the table, and females from the brothels were as tough as the men. Madame Moustache brandished Colts to halt the landing of a steamboat carrying smallpox. Saloons and “houses” stayed open all night. The block was lined with barrooms, cathouses and gambling dens – so lawless it had to be circled by a cavalry troop so a U.S. Marshal could serve warrants on five of its residents. 2 Winnie Researching 3 Table of Contents Preamble June 18, 2012, & 7/1/17 ........................................................................................................... 6 HOW WE BECAME PART OF THE MELTING POT CALLED AMERICANS ..................................................... 6 Prolog July 2012 ....................................................................................................................................... 7 Other Prologue Ideas July 2017 ............................................................................................................. 8 Our Heritage:......................................................................................................................................... 8 Introduction .......................................................................................................................................... 9 Moses Soloman’s Paper Trail Old October 2012 version ........................................................................ 10 The Ophir Town Site................................................................................................................................ 11 Mose Solomon Paper Trail Created July 2011, updated July 2017 ......................................................... 12 1852 ........................................................................................................................................................ 17 1864: The Cannon and the Mule, or Frontier Fun .................................................................................. 17 1864: The Cannon and the Mule version 1 ...................................................................................... 17 1864: The Cannon and the Mule version 2 ...................................................................................... 18 MOSES SOLOMON - MONTANA DAYS - 1864 TO 1906 ..................................................................... 18 1864: The Cannon and the Mule by John G.

  • Moose Clabaugh, “62 Homers” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Moose Clabaugh, “62 homers” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com John William (Moose) Clabaugh, a hard-hitting outfielder/first baseman from Missouri, gains national attention during the 1926 season when he hits 62 home runs for the Tyler Trojans of the East Texas (D) League, breaking the organized baseball record of 60 established the previous season by Tony Lazzeri of the Salt Lake City Bees. Clabaugh’s home run total is even more impressive when you consider that his 62 round-trippers are achieved in only 123 games and Tyler’s elevation is 544 feet … Lazzeri totals his 60 home runs over 197 games and Salt Lake City’s elevation is listed at 4,226 feet. Despite playing for a team that finishes 57-64 and 25 1/2 games behind the first-place Longview Cannibals, Clabaugh captures the East Texas “Triple Crown”, leading the circuit in home runs, runs batted in (164) and batting average (.376). Despite playing in a low-level minor league, his performance earns him a Moose Clabaugh late-season call 1933 Baltimore Orioles Clabaugh Year by Year: up to the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League, where he goes 1-for-14 (.071) with one RBI in 11 games.

    1922 Western International League, “One & Done” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On the morning of Thursday, June 1, 1922, fans of the Western Inter- national League awake to find that the league standings of Wednes- Vancouver Daily World day night are no longer the standings of that Thursday morning. June 1, 1922 Through Games of May 31 Adjusted Standings Calgary Bronchos 16 13 -- Calgary Bronchos 15 13 -- Edmonton Eskimos 15 13 1/2 Edmonton Eskimos 14 13 1/2 Vancouver Beavers 13 15 2 1/2 Vancouver Beavers 13 14 1 1/2 Tacoma Tigers 12 15 3 Tacoma Tigers 12 15 2 1/2 With the adjustment, both Calgary and Edmonton lose one victory ... Vancouver drops one loss while and Tacoma remains the same. Prior to the start of the season, Western International League “magnates” announce that the first month of the season will be a period that team managers can “look over” their clubs and make player personnel changes without worrying about dropping out of contention and hurting attendance. “Along about” June 3, league presi- dent Deacon White is “empowered” to adjust the standings so that no more than one game shall separate each team from the club directly ahead of them in the standings ... no “tinkering” will be done to the actual standing of the teams, just the games won and lost. After the readjustment, it will be the “responsibility” of the manag- ers to keep their teams in contention ... all player statistics will be kept from the opening day and will not be adjusted in any way. Western International League President Unfortunately for the fans and players, the four-team league will pass out of existence 18 William Freeman “Deacon” White days later on June 18, because of financial difficulties ..

  • PDF EPUB} Two Thieves and a Puma by John Henry Reese Puma and Thierry Henry Bring a Contemporary Look to the True Classic Puma King
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Two Thieves and a Puma by John Henry Reese puma and thierry henry bring a contemporary look to the true classic puma king. Sports company PUMA pays homage to one of the most iconic football boots of all time by launching the all-new PUMA KING Platinum. Celebrating the 1968 edition, the year in which the PUMA KING was first launched, PUMA teamed up with Thierry Henry, one of the most gifted players of his era, to re-engineer the classic for a new generation of kings. The PUMA KING has been the football boot of choice for some of the greatest players in the history of the sport and Sunday League legends across the world. Today, PUMA re-masters the iconic silhouette with technical and performance input from Thierry Henry. Sharing his experience on the product development, Henry said “I was able to share my experience as a player with the PUMA Football design team when developing the updated PUMA KING. The boot has more than 50 years of history and is renowned for its use of premium materials and style. We applied the same formula in updating this iconic shoe, focusing on craftsmanship and technical performance to meet the needs of the modern footballer.” The PUMA KING Platinum updates the original KING design applying the latest in football performance technology. The Smooth, premium K- Leather boot upper remains and is enhanced with a 3D ‘touch’ texture for added control. Fit is improved with a snug fitting knitted tongue, and the ultra-modern slim silhouette combined with the super lightweight ‘RAPIDSPRINT’ outsole makes it the fastest, lightest KING ever to grace the pitch.
