The West: From the primary sources

I've had the opportunity to investigate several newspapers from 1866-1880 in the west. I've found a story in Sacramento about three children who were struck in the head at the same time and drowned. I also found a Sacramento newspaper following the president at the time (Rutherford B. Hayes), who was in Connecticut at the time visiting the bones of his ancestors. There was a story from that same newspaper about three men who were killed by a lightning strike.
