Pigeons Coming to DeKalb County in 1920
From the April 22, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"If everything goes as has been planned, the Chicago Concourse Club will send out about 5000 homing pigeons to be released from here Sunday morning.
"During the war, this type of pigeon won great fame for themselves by carrying messages while under fire. A man will also be sent along with the birds to see that they are liberated in the right way."
