Episode #26: The Murder of Silverton Town Marshal Clayton Ogsbury & 1881 Zodiac Back

5/22/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie tells the truly Wild West story of a spontaneous murder outside the Diamond Saloon, by outlaw Bert Wilkinson of the Stockton-Eskridge gang, in the rowdy and burgeoning Colorado silver mining town of Silverton, during a lawless period in the developing American West, including details of the colorful characters involved and the sad retribution that followed. In the 1881 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers the exceptionally Taurus-heavy conjunctions and perihelions of the year (and how flying too close to the sun can affect both plants AND humans), she details the GRIM predictions of astrologers of the time including the predicted? Cholera epidemic, presents a peek into the natal chart of a major artist, and presents a NEW segment, Comet Me Bro! - all about the gorgeous comet, C/1881 K1, aka Comet Tebbutt, aka The Great Comet of 1881.
