LOL! That’s the first link that comes up when you google Wyckoff’s name! Congratulations! I’ll get to it when I have some more time for reading.

Go with God, my son. :-)

I got pretty windy in the intros, but set up the two maps that covered his East/West books and you can home in to specific states/towns.

Ran across his books in 1966. When I read the bit where he was cold, hungry and homeless in a wintry Chicago, saw an old school chum and knew he'd find warmth and food, and toughed it out instead, I put the book down and thought "I'd like to know that guy", little realizing that he died more than 50 years before that.

When I set the site up, I went and bought the bound Scribners volumes (1897-1898) that had his articles. I got a kick when they had to explain to the readers that the stories were true and not fiction. I guess some back then couldn't believe some of the stuff he saw and went through.
