That feeling when seeing people shoot guns in the air reminds you of New Years celebrations as a kid... Maybe that wasn't the safest thing in the world that our neighbors did in a suburban neighborhood. #HATM - ThreadSky

While spiritualism included a lot of con-artists & crooks, it was a venue that allowed women to speak in public in ways that weren't common in the mid-19th century. https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Parks/OHenry/spiritualism.pdf #HATM #Tombstone

Most people assumed tuberculosis then called consumption was hereditary, not contagious. So they'd have had no issue with carrying him to his hotel room as he coughed up blood in their faces. #HATM #Tombstone

"I want them spittin' blood"
Now that' just a rude thing to say about a group that includes a TB sufferer. He's already spitting blood. #HATM #Tombstone

My great-great grandmother ran a hotel and restaurant on the CO plains in late 1800s/early 1900s. I grew up hearing stories about how she had to order porch lights by the dozen because the cowboys would come into town, get drunk, and shoot them 😁
