The only known photographof Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the pictureis this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to MontanaTerritorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer sixtimes, caught by Pinkerton Detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889. Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff ofProfessional image adjusters sent back the following biographicalsketch: 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. And THAT is how it's done when you're a politician, folks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
