I loved that word "throve" too! LOL The other thing I really thought was odd was the article where they talked about Mr. Shea going back to Texas for more cattle and a wife. OK, not sure I would have ever let anyone know that was part of my intention, had I been Mr. Shea. Just sayin'.LOL Great post.

One of today's did, though--the Wells Fargo office robbery.

As for secrets, there was a veritable revolving door of prospectors and those who left with their tails between their legs, but there was a core community and those people had no chance to keep a secret.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-29788764488072456322013-05-16T09:07:35.394-05:002013-05-16T09:07:35.394-05:00Fun information!

The newspapers used such colorful and fascinating language in those days. And, the reporting seemed to suggest there weren't many secrets kept in the community. thomasrizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762315714546553945noreply@blogger.com
