Recently NBC had an article on their website called, “Why DNA tourism may be the big travel trend of 2019.” They begin the article with, “These are your cousins. You will probably spend the night with them,” but this can be misleading when discussing DNA tourism.
“Soldier Mangled by I. and G.N. Train,” Houston Post, 13 February 1917, p. 7, col. 1.
“[I]t will be beyond the skies when Jesse W. Steele, private, company G, Third Texas Infantry, kisses the lips of that ‘mother o’ mine,’ for Monday Morning at 11 o’clock he got his summons to appear before the Great General in the final court marshal.”[1]
The newspaper article from the 13 February 1917 Houston Post describes how Jesse Steele, traveling home on a ten day furlough from the army, tried to hop on an International and Great Northern freight train. In the stead he fell underneath the wheels and was killed.[2]
