New book. Bringing Sundance Home.

Bringing Sundance Home is the new book written and researched by Jerry Nickle. He claims that William Henry Long, who was working for a cattle ranch in Wyoming, was arrested under the name of Harry Longabaugh after Harry Longabaugh had been arrested and escaped for horse stealing. A case of mistaken identity which apparently William Henry Long went along with to a certain degree. Hence William Henry Long has been the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy's friend and sidekick in South America since that time. At this time I am not going to agree or disagree with Jerry. I have though for some time that Hiram BeBee was the Sundance Kid. This sheds a different light on the subject and I am still, as always, looking for evidence before coming to a conclusion. I will say it is possible and makes sense the way Jerry explained it.

Willilam Henry Long married Luzernia Ann Allred who was the daughter of Andrew Jackson Allred who is the brother of Hannah Caroline Allred who is my ancestorr. James Allred, their father, is the common ancestor of myself and Jerry Nickle. I am related to William Henry Long by marriage. After Luzernia Jerry is  descended from Chloe Jane Morrell Jackson and Jeremiah Jackson who may be the outlaw Kid Jackson that Charles Kelly referred to. They are Jerry's grandparents. Next is Clayton Jackson Nickle and Luzernia Jackson Nickle. They are Jerry's parents.

These leases that were withdrawn were done so illegally.

In the mountainous Green River Basin of the American West, running through Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming, the American people own lands containing an estimated one trillion barrels of oil, more than triple the amount of Saudi Arabia’s proven oil reserves and far exceeding anything we could have dreamed a few decades ago

This incredible supply—made of up most of the world’s oil shale —should be a cause for national celebration, since it has the potential both to lower gasoline prices and to increase government revenues without raising taxes.

In 2008, this exciting energy story was just beginning to bear fruit, as the Bush administration issued 77 leases (after a seven-year environmental review process) for energy companies looking to develop the oil shale.

Then came President Barack Obama. Within weeks of his inauguration, the Obama Interior Department withdrew the leases.

How to start Diamond Mining.

Currently I am researching on how to find or look for diamonds.  I have found a lot of good information and I have spent a lot of time looking at google earth, maps, books and the Internet.  What I have found out is that I don't have to go to Arkansas or even Colorado or Wyoming to look for diamond.  Though Colorado is a good place to find some.  The link below is a great wealth of information on diamonds.  Besides putting it in this post I will add it to my links for this blog.
