WTHR-13 reporter Mary Milz , rewriting Hillary Clinton’s genealogy of her great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: ‘Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.’
Mary e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary’s staff of professional image adjusters sent back the following biographical
sketch: ‘Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory.
His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad.
Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.’
Mary saw to it that it was aired as provided. And THAT is how it’s done folks!
People for HRC could care less about her ancestry. They think she will “give them” something that the Republicans have “taken away”. They haven’t a clue what they might get though.
