Forged in the fire of a childhood addiction to mystery, trivia, and answers to questions that are seemingly never asked.From History, to Mystery, missing persons to the conspiratorial aside.

2025/12/17

In October of 1843, the literary genius Charles Dickens sat down to embark on what was in its original intent a cold, calculated business venture, intended to offset impending financial losses.

In May of 1892, John and Charles Ruggles conspired to rob a Wells Fargo Stagecoach just outside Shasta Ca.

NOTE: The YouTube version off this has a video presentation to go along with the narrative!It can be found here:If you are in any way familiar with the saga of the Ruggles Brothers' 1892 robbery, killing and subsequent lynching at the hands of an anonymous, midnight populace, you may think that Smith Mountain Cemetery was their final resting place.As I discovered a few weeks ago, this is not the case, and while that part may not be a mystery to everyone, the actual burial site has been in obscurity
