ANCESTORS- HENRY LOWRY THE ROBIN HOOD OF ROBESON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
The Confederate government used conscription to force many locals to work on the construction of various forts around the Cape Fear River area for very little pay. Several Lowry cousins, excluded from military service because they were free men of color, had been conscripted to help build Fort Fisher. The Lowry Gang was initially started to aid those hiding from conscription. Other residents resorted to "lying out" (hiding in the region's swamps) to avoid being rounded up by the Confederate Home Guard and forced to work for low wages. As...

GENEALOGIST- THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE OF 1877
The Great Railroad Strike of 1877, sometimes referred to as the Great Upheaval, began on July 14 in Martinsburg, West Virginia, after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) cut wages for the third time in a year. This strike finally ended 52 days later, after it was put down by unofficial militias, the National Guard, and federal troops. Because of economic problems and pressure on wages by the railroads, workers in numerous other cities, in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, into Illinois and Missouri, also went out on strike. An estimated 100 people were...

GENEALOGIST FOR HIRE- THE HAPPIEST AND LEAST HAPPY STATES IN AMERICA!
I get Utah, being the happiest state for the reasons they mentioned above. Vermont is the chill part of the Northeast. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska have those good old-fashioned midwestern values. Colorado and Wyoming have the "outdoorsyness" of Utah.
In the 60s you have more outdoorsy western states like Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Idaho, and Montana along with brightly-lit Nevada. More midwestern places like North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina bring the mid-eastern states into the rankings, along with New York the cultural icon.

FAMILY HISTORY- SANTA CLAUS' TOMB HAS BEEN DISCOVERED- AND YOU CAN VISIT- Archaeologists claim to have found the grave of Saint Nicholas beneath a church in Turkey
Kids, don’t let anyone tell you Santa Claus isn’t real. Or, more accurately, that he wasn’t real.
When we’re talking about Santa Claus, we are, of course, really talking about Saint Nicholas of Myra: a bishop who lived from AD 270 to 343. He’s the guy that the Santa Claus myth is based on, thanks to his reputed habit of distributing gifts to the poor and needy. And he is apparently buried under St Nicholas...

GENEALOGIST- APPARENTLY, THE MOVIE WAS A BOX OFFICE BUST, BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING STORY!
GENEALOGIST- The Business Plot (also called the Wall Street Putsch and The White House Putsch) was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 in the United States to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a dictator. Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler asserted that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans' organization with Butler as its leader and use it in a coup d'état to overthrow Roosevelt.

GENEALOGIST FOR HIRE KING FREDERICK III OF DENMARK AND OTHER SCANDINAVIAN FASHION SURPRISES
I came across the story of an early Scandinavian naval crew aboard the Swedish Man-of-War Kronan. The forces were entirely male, and no women were allowed on board ships engaged in warfare. As a result, traditional women's chores were performed by men who decked themselves out with feminine articles such as handbags and purses made of embroidered silken material with braided tassels, patterned silk ribbons, and silk rosettes, silk yarn, and sewing cases. Such articles were just as common as muskets and guns at the site of the...

GENEALOGY- IN CASE YOU EVER WANT TO BE A TRAINRIDER HERE ARE SOME TIPS!
While on a recent trip up to the border of Montana and Idaho, I met a “trainrider”. He and three of his train riding buddies now worked at a mountain café. He shared tales that reminded me of my grandfather’s stories of riding the rails in the 1930s during the depression. Of course, back then, they were called hobos. Here is some insight into the early “trainriders.”
The hobo is familiar as a character from kitsch art and silent film and feels like a romantic caricature today. But...
