This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

The Bum Gave All in 1919
From the February 6, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1919, 100 Years Ago.
"A big strapping fellow put in an appearance at the police station last night, and asked for a night's lodging. When asked if he had any money, said he was broke, and that he had given $100,000 to the Red Cross, and had helped every other war cause with his money.
"The man gave his name as Fred Sturgeon of U.S.A. and after a night's sleep at the city hall, he was accompanied to the western city limits and given the usual orders for such characters."
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back.
