Learning Opportunities from Legends of America
~~~~
There were various types of lawmen in the Old West. He might have been a U.S. Marshal, appointed by the Attorney General; a Sheriff elected to office by the county residents, a Marshal appointed by the City Council, or a deputy, constable, ranger, or peace officer hired by a superior officer or authority. Many lawmen received no pay other than a percentage of any money that those they arrested might be fined, or the collection of bounties on the heads of wanted men. This often led them to have second jobs or sometimes, to use their badges in establishing protection rackets or other crimes. Of those who did make a salary, it was often very low, and their duties often included tasks that many felt were beneath them, such as keeping the streets clean, and other city duties; or in the case of U.S. Marshals — being responsible for taking the national census and distributing Presidential proclamations. Often their work would consist of weeks of boring tasks, punctuated by moments of high drama and sometimes deadly confrontation. See our many articles on Lawmen of the Old West.

And there is no finer example than the Great Moon Hoax of 1835.

Here’s some TMI on About Us
I saw you mentioned cornbread. do you really eat that stuff? do you know it is made with roundup ready sprayed corn? that has glyphosate, there are over 40,000 lawsuits against monsanto by people who have cancer. why would anyone eat corn?????
or maybe you are growing your own organic corn on your own property, lets hope so.
I wish I could say I grew my own, but I can’t. Kathy makes a great batch of cornbread with real corn and cheese mixed in… Yummm. And now apparently some glyphosate for an added kick 🙁 Thanks for being a newsletter reader Frank!
Please let Kathy know there is roundup in her corn, you can eat it if you want, but let her make her own decisions about her health. Yea, the corn is real, it is just not healthy because it is real, but everyone can make their own decisions. I think over 40,000 lawsuits is enough for anyone to stop eating it. If you dont believe me, do the research. you have a good day…
And you are making a joke about it, I wonder how the cancer patients feel about your joke??
