A Message to Brandon

Again Brandon, I'm sorry you didn't get gold. I have learned one thing from this experience with you: I will not sell paydirt on this site. We have not done it  so far and will not do it in the future. I have given away material but not sold it. We wish you the best. ...Linda Newton-Perry

On page 155 of of the above book it tells of Labor Day restrictions on hard drink, that being--just beer available. But  from the back woods "corn squeezins"  came which had the above result. It was called "tangle leg."  No more about hard drink. This just tickled my funny-bone and so I decided to share it. ... Linda Newton-Perry

Did you know...

 
GOLD RUSH TIMES: I've read in several books that whisky was often  stretched in volumn by saloon owners by dropping in the barrel shaved plug tobacco and water. I'm sure they didn't tell the parched gold prospectors, their customers,  this little fact!... Linda Newton-Perry

According to the book GOLD DUST  by Donald Dale Jackson, this expression was "a popular expression of the day which meant to learn or gain experience by enduring great hardship." So now you know.
