Note the periscope in lieu of a forward window. The aircraft is the custom-built, single-engine, single-seat, high-wing monoplane that was flown by Charles Lindbergh on May 20–21, 1927, on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, for which Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize. |

Lindbergh took off about 5 miles from where I am sitting now...Either Mitchell Field, or Roosevelt Field just west of Merrick Ave... If you ever find yourself on Long Island, The Cradle of Aviation is a must see... along with The American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport.. Where Republic late Fairchild/Republic built planes.. Grumman is a few miles east, where they built the F14..

Sitting Bull was born around 1831 into the Hunkpapa people, a Lakota Sioux tribe that roamed the Great Plains in what is now the Dakotas. He was initially called “Jumping Badger” by his family, but earned the boyhood nickname “Slow” for his quiet and deliberate demeanor. The future chief killed his first buffalo when he was just 10 years old. At 14, he joined a Hunkpapa raiding party and distinguished himself by knocking a Crow warrior from his horse with a tomahawk. In celebration of the boy’s bravery, his father relinquished his own name and transferred it to his son. From then on, Slow became known as Tatanka-Iyotanka, or “Sitting Bull.” Sitting Bull was renowned for his skill in close quarters fighting and collected several red feathers representing wounds sustained in battle. As word of his exploits spread, his fellow warriors took to yelling, “Sitting Bull, I am he!” to intimidate their enemies during combat. The most stunning display of his courage came in 1872, when the Sioux clashed with the U.S. Army during a campaign to block construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad. As a symbol of his contempt for the soldiers, the middle-aged chief strolled out into the open and took a seat in front of their lines. Inviting several others to join him, he proceeded to have a long, leisurely smoke from his tobacco pipe, all the while ignoring the hail of bullets whizzing by his head. Upon finishing his pipe, Siting Bull carefully cleaned it and then walked off, still seemingly oblivious to the gunfire around him. His nephew White Bull would later call the act of defiance “the bravest deed possible. |

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658244679.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658244679.jpg 140 years ago, Friday, July 14, 1882, the lifeless body of notorious Old-West outlaw John Peters Ringo (1850-1882), better known as “Johnny Ringo,” was found sitting under a tree by passing teamster John Yoast, at the western end of Turkey Canyon in the Chiricahua Mountains of Cochise County in Arizona Territory -- shot through the head -- dead at the age of 32. Ringo’s .45-calibre revolver, with one spent cartridge in the cylinder, was found hanging by one finger of his right hand. His feet were wrapped in pieces of his undershirt. His horse was found two weeks later, with Ringo’s boots tied to the saddle -- a common method to keep scorpions out of boots. Despite the lack of powder burns, the coroner’s ruling was suicide. Author Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) wrote that he had found nothing in Old-West history to commend John Ringo as a particularly noteworthy “bad man.” According to L’Amour, Ringo was a surly, bad-tempered man who was worse when he was drinking, & his main claim to fame was shooting the unarmed Louis Hancock in an Arizona Territory saloon in 1879 for ordering beer after Ringo told him to order whiskey. L’Amour wrote that he did not understand how Ringo earned such a strong reputation as a “bad man” in legend. Other authors have concluded that perhaps Ringo’s memorable name, coupled with his confrontations with the canonically “good” Earp brothers, contributed to his latter-day reputation. The circa-1880 photograph depicts the moustachioed visage of Johnny Ringo at around the age of 30. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658244679.jpg The Kiska invasion fleet at Adak harbor, Aleutians, Alaska, in August 1943. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658244679.jpg Tuesday, July 14, 1846, world–renowned Norwegian-American pogonotrophist-extraordinaire Hans Nilson “King Whiskers” Langseth (1846-1927) was born at the village of Eidsvoll in Akershus County, Norway. Hans Langseth’s claim to fame is his beard, which was the longest ever recorded at 18 feet 6 inches when it was measured at the town of Barney, North Dakota in 1912 when he was 66 years of age. In 1867, Hans Langseth emigrated to the United States. He spent much of his life as a farmer, but for a while he toured with a travelling freak show, exhibiting his beard to the public. He eventually tired of show business & left the freak show after numerous nonbelievers yanked his whiskers to see if they were real. Late in his life, Langseth made the decision to cut off his beard, but he only got part way through it & couldn’t finish the job. Langseth met his earthly demise at the venerable age of 81 on November 10, 1927 when he died from the effects of unspecified natural causes at the town of Wyndmere, in Richland County, North Dakota. He was buried in Elk Creek Church Cemetery in Kensett, Iowa. When he died, his beard measured 17 feet, 5 inches. In 1967, Hans Langseth’s famous beard was donated to the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658244679.jpg Hopi girls.

Comprised mostly of wheat flour & water, the paste must have seemed reasonable to eat; however, it also contained alum, which is poisonous if a large enough dose is consumed. The effects of the alum, along with an already weakened health condition, appear to have been enough to cause the unfortunate man’s demise.
