Oh for a few pictures inside the coliseum during one of the 1st Ward Balls1 Never seen one though. The Bath and Hinky Dink were unbelievable characters. Your scans of the "1st" and "2nd" levees are amazing quality, far better than I've ever seen before... What was your source for those. Great storytelling Neil. If you haven't yet read "Lords of the Levee" it's a must for a slightly fictionalized history of Kenna, Coughlin and the rest.<br />John Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963161270997686596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-87235559764335472242017-07-10T20:18:49.887-05:002017-07-10T20:18:49.887-05:00If the Sands existed on Wells between Jackson and ...If the Sands existed on Wells between Jackson and First(Congress), then how is it that the Tribune and Wrigley buildings sit on where the Sands was located?
