Completely O/T, but cool!

In my line of work (land surveyor) I sometimes have to search for old deeds and mining claims in order to locate properties. This job crossed my desk today and I thought it was way cool! Check out these field notes and see if you can find the famous signatures!

NICE!

Mssrs, Earp, Earp & Holliday. Too cool!

Wow, I had no idea he earned a living as a "Flagman"!

How did Tombstone documents end up here? Wait, Prescott was the state seat at one time, no?

True. It was the territorial capital. But, we do surveys all over Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada. So, having these docs is not unusual. Also have projects in Belize, Peru, Costa Rica, and recently bid on one in American Samoa. If we get that one, I am SO there!

If you fancy drinking something with a cool link try Maker's Mark. The Samuels family who own the distillery (Bill Samuels Jnr is still working for them as is his son Rob) has links with the James brothers (as in Frank and Jesse). From what I remember the family provided safe havens for the boys in Nelson County, Kentucky.
Just another of those fun history things for introducing some whiskies to people.
