Shifting Social Media of the Gilded Era
A miscellany notes foreign ladies teaching shaving in Eastern cities, long service at the Navy Department, pensioned scouts in the Bannock war, Nevada County twins with ages twenty eight and twenty two, John Mackay’s costly era in Europe, and a Ben Vragygie monument in Sutherlandshire. Also bees in a Bladensburg church weathering, a New York belle with a strawberry mark seeking grafts, Prince Browarck’s pipe, a Groton Mass postmaster’s resignation, polar observing stations telegraphed, stockings destined to change color by wearer hair, a Philadelphia arrival from Ireland, and General Pleasonton’s memory of a wartime horse.
