"I
just walked in from Sheridan,
and boy, are my arms tired." |
"H. E.
Griffith, in wheelbarrow, being pushed from Sheridan
to Rock Island*
by Oscar Houchins, August 24, 1942. Houchins had lost a bet to Griffith on the
governor's race. Large crowds gathered in Sheridan
and Rock Island
to see the departure and the arrival. The photograph, taken at Sheridan
just before the two men departed, ran in the Colorado County Citizen of August
27, 1942."
*Distance from Sheridan
to Rock Island is
roughly 6.7 miles.
