• Where were the RUGGLES BROTHERS Buried?

  NOTE: The YouTube version off this has a video presentation to go along with the narrative!It can be found here:If you are in any way familiar with the saga of the Ruggles Brothers' 1892 robbery, killing and subsequent lynching at the hands of an anonymous, midnight populace, you may think that Smith Mountain Cemetery was their final resting place.As I discovered a few weeks ago, this is not the case, and while that part may not be a mystery to everyone, the actual burial site has been in obscurity for many years. Through a combination of Providence, technology and an obsessive need to keep looking, I have found it. Here is the brief rundown.

• Virginia City, Flour Sacks, and the Unmarked Grave of Milton Mygatt

  In episode 17 of my podcast, I discuss the 1909 Airship disaster in Redding, California that claimed one life and damaged another. Perhaps you remember my peripheral fascination with the 78 year old man that was trampled in the melee--, and the brief itemization of physical traumas he survived before--and after this one.I went back, simply intending to make a more detailed itemization of my hero-sub-plot--dude.--and discovered that he was a ridiculously-active human being, with his fingers in everything.And he was present during some of the Wests's most formative years.
