My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

Carrie Nation and saloon smashing. March, 1901 "Review of Reviews"
Carrie was the talk of the town when it came to "saloon smashing". She was on her moral crusade to end the ability of people to have the evil drink. This article came out in the March 1901 issue of Review of Reviews. She would go in a smash up a saloon with a axe on her hands. She truly was another Kansas cyclone as they say here in the above cartoon. So enjoy reading some history when it was news!
