I spent 26 years in the coal mines, and cleared enough money to buy a ticket to California. Quit the mines three years ago, am now a steam Engineer The men who were engaged in that battle are now scattered all over the Globe, and you are not forgotten by them, so you see your friends are not all under one flag.
