Photo is not the actual accident
While doing some re - writes of the manuscript this week, I questioned the time line of one of the events. As a good researcher will do, I went to the mass of my research papers in order to verify the date.
Not finding the information I knew I had, I went to the Chronicling America website, to do a search in The Lewiston Teller newspaper pages from the 1880's. Searching for the name Myers gave me a hit I never expected and one I had not seen before. Aunt May (Maryette Myers) was involved in a stage coach accident on Alpowai Ridge. The stage driver lost control and the stage went off the road tipping over. Aunt May along with two other passengers, jumped from the stage to safety. One of the passengers later died from his injuries.
Scenes right out of the movies.
