Giants in the Shields Genealogy and Amtrak Anniversary
Cousin Alice reports a Shields family legend from Kentucky to Texas about nine giant brothers led by John Franklin Shields with heights from six eight to seven eleven. The tale notes wagon trails, family reunions in Texas, and lost eight foot potential. Amtrak marks its second birthday with its first refurbished Broadway Limited train from New York to Chicago.
