LA TRIVIATA: A TOOBWORLD PAPER OF RECORD


'WAGON TRAIN'
"THE FENTON CANABY STORY"

Fenton Canaby was an infamous wagon train master whose last party proved to be a disaster on a par with the Donner Party.  Thanks to a journal kept by the doomed Byron Lowe, Canaby's story was told in newspapers all across the country.


One of those newspapers was the New York Record, which was also featured in 'The Roaring Twenties' as the paper for which Scott Norris and Pat Garrison worked back in the 1920's.  By that time, the name of the paper was changed to The Daily Record.  


(Sorry about that imprint on the screencap, Chief!)

BCnU!
