Show us their hats!

Jim, based on your recommendation I got a copy from the library. I'm about 80 pgs in & enjoying it so far.

Hope you keep enjoying it. I found it a good read.



Sent directly from my mind to yours.

They say he could have been Jack the Ripper.

When Holmes built what was to be his hotel he served as his own General Contractor. No architects or structural engineers were involved. Construction projects always shut down during the winter months; they had not yet learned how to work thru the winter. It was during the winter months in Chicago of 1889-1891 that the Ripper murders took place. So far this book only speculates that Holmes could have disappeared for the winter & committed the murders in Whitehall.

It's a good read!

It's officially Halloween season. And these kinds of things get me all giddy right now.

He looks confident and the hat fits him. When a hats fits into the entire look (clothing, grooming, style, etc.) it doesn't look like a costume or an addition that doesn't blend with the whole look.

Asa Philip Randolph,labor & civil rights leader (1911)

Charles Fletcher Lummis,Native American Indian activist, journalist, (c1897)

Mr. Randolph has style and verve! Timeless.

Never heard that...interesting. And I agree on the stache. I've always thought he looks like someone in our modern times, but I've never been able to put a name to it.

I agree. He somehow has a contemporary look. A bit off putting.

He may have killed simply to cover up his schemes as a con artist of the day. I'll definitely be looking to read, "H.H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil".

He does look like a modern actor, one who (without the mustache) would resemble a chipmunk. But I can't think who, either.
