There is a memorial service for Dodd coming up. LINK
Of the accounts I have read of the Dodd hanging I was surprised to hear of the Arkansas River being frozen for weeks such that people could and did walk across it on the day the hanging occurred. It's been real cold the last couple of days but in modern times I cannot fathom the river being in that condition--no doubt the locks and dams since then must have had an impact. The actual hanging itself was gruesome by all accounts. LINK

Thanks Litigator, great LINK. Shared that for my post on the DawgChat with credit to you. Hard to believe with all this "Climate Change" the Feds are taxing us on that the weather is almost identical to what it was exactly 150 years ago, huh?
