Another name that was completely unknown to me until a plaque prompted some web searching. Some interesting items that I now know include Tombstone, Arizona celebrates Nellie Cashman Day on August 23rd to remember its "Angel of Mercy; she has had a U.S.A. stamp in her honour; she had dealings with Wyatt Earp; she was a gold prospector and entrepreneur and is in the Alaska Mining Hall of Fame; she is credited with saving a snowbound party of miners; and she had a great name on her company, The Midnight Sun Mining Company. I do like that these plaques and monuments do introduce me to names and lives of people of whom I have not heard previously but I am not sure the plaque is good value at the reported €73k. |
