Medieval America 27: Six States from St Louis to Fargo
In this episode of my trip around America I continue my journey north in the center of the country. I traveled into six new states, and cover 1250 miles in the course of eight days traveling ever north from St. Louis Missouri all the way to Fargo North Dakota.
We stop at several castles and a major museum.
With this video and the previous video (episode 26) I went from the New Orleans at the south of America all the way north to Fargo North Dakota bifurcating the country. There was a big swing in temperate and a constant uphill climb. I also noticed now in this video that the terrain is changing there is a lot more open space with enormous open fields and gentle rolling hills, with much fewer trees. It is clear we are heading toward the prairie states.

The Mars Cheese Castle in Wisconsin
Madison Wisconsin: The Morgridge Center Also known as the Red Gym, It was built in 1894 and was used as an armory and gymasium for the University of Wisconsin. It was designed in the Romanesque Revival style.
Then West on Route 18 across part of Iowa which is one of the most beautiful drives I have taken. all the way to Mason city Iowa. A little over 200 miles.
Then North into Minnesota for Minneapolis, St Paul and St cloud for four castles:
The Landmark Center in St Paul- Completed in 1902 it is also in the Romanesque Revival style but notice how different it looks because of the different stone compared to the Red Gym, (This building is pink granite ashlar) It was initially used as the State post office, courthouse and customs house.
The American Swedish Institute (The Swan Turnblad Mansion) It is built in Chateauesque style which is a revival style architecture based onFrench Renaissance Architecture. IT was completed in 1910 and is made of Bedford Limestone. It is also known as the swedish castle.
The Stanford Newel House in St. Paul It The core of the building was built in 1864 by a man named Lasher during the Civil War using locally quarried limestone. It was purchased in 1886 by Stanford Newel and upgraded with the tower and battlements added.
The UMinn NROTC Building - in Minneapolis, it is the University of Minnesota Armory. It was constructed in 1896. It originally served as the University Armory and Gymnasium. Over the years it has served various purposes and now is the home of the University Naval ROTC and gymnasium.
Fergus Falls Minnesota for the Kirkbride Building also known as the Fergus Falls State Mental Health Hospital . It is purported to be haunted. Construction was completed in 1907.
Ending in Fargo North Dakota and Unicorn Park.
Next up I will be traveling west and covering some of the Prairie States.

WE BUY CARS!
MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer one hell of a piece of American history! We have in our showroom a 1935 International Harvester C-35 Armored Truck that has been painstakingly restored over the past few years and has one hell of a story accompanying it. We couldn't be more excited to be part of the preservation of this incredible vehicle!
This truck was custom built for the Little Rock Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis by the John C. Dix Company of Memphis, Tennessee. It is our understanding that this was the first and only armored truck built by Dix.
This late 1935 International C-35 chassis was state-of-the-art, offering the FAB-3 engine: a 241 cubic inch, overhead-valve six cylinder, boasting 27 horsepower, mated to a 4-speed gearbox with hydraulic brakes. The truck weighs approximately 9,200 lbs, measuring 7'9 tall, 16'11 long and 6' wide; the body only being 4'7 wide. The armored body is riveted 3/16 boiler plate with a solid oak interior; the truck has a tremendous amount of hand-forged blacksmith's work. Of the five plates for the brass gun ports, no two are alike. When looking at the truck, please note the hand-forged angle on the corners and rear fender mounts; an excellent example of blacksmithing from this time period. It goes without saying that all the glass mounted in this beast is bulletproof and at least 1.5-2 thick.
This truck began service at the Little Rock Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis on April 30th, 1936, replacing a 1928 Ford, and remained in service for 11 years - through World War II. It transported money between the Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S. Post Office, the Railroad Depot and the major Little Rock banks. Two former employees were located and interviewed regarding their having driven the truck. Both gentlemen had driven this truck in the mid 1940's. They both described going by the Ice House and picking up a block of ice and placing it in a wash tub in the back to help stay cool during the summer months. They explained that keeping rags in the tub to wipe their faces off helped as they rode in the back. After its tenure with the Federal Reserve Bank, the truck was replaced with a 1947 Diamond-T armored truck and was transferred to the U.S. Postal Service. The truck transported registered mail and money. It's believed the truck was retired in the late 1950's and sold as surplus property.
This truck re-appeared later in an article in the Arkansas Gazette newspaper, dated September 24, 1974. According to the article, Mr. Nelson Mears of Mabelvale, Arkansas purchased the truck for $300 and assumed it to be a 1928 U.S. Mail truck. In the late 1980's, Mr. Woody Cordell, also of Mablevale, purchased the truck from Mears in hopes of restoring it. Due to ill health, Cordell was unable to do so.
The truck was obtained from Cordell in 1991 by Frank and Karen Howell. The Howell's knew that in order to restore the truck properly, more information was needed on both the mechanics of the truck, and more importantly, the truck's history.
The research began with the truck's manufacturer, the John C. Dix Company of Memphis, Tennessee. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper, June 7, 1940, the Dix Company was closing its doors after 60 years of service following a violent labor dispute, and the assets were being liquidated. An article in the Memphis Press-Scimitar newspaper, June 15, 1940, corroborated this information. Contact was then made with the Jay Tom Moore family. Moore, a former Dix employee, left the company after the construction of the C-35 was complete. Mr. Moore later went on to open a specialty shop in Memphis for armored car construction and became the largest manufacturer of armored cars in the country! Moore's sons, Rick and Terry, were able to provide the name of Mr. Jack Colter, an elderly Memphis resident who, according to the Moore's, actually helped Jay Tom Moore, as Dix employees, build the C-35 truck. Mr. Colter was contacted by telephone. He then told the story of the C-35 armored truck. He said as a Dix employee at the age of 18, he was in charge of installing the wood interior in the C-35. He also said that two gentlemen with the last names of Thompson and Fisher were in charge of the steel work on the truck while Jay Tom Moore, himself, was in charge of upholstery. Colter distinctly remembered the truck and how difficult it was to build.

Geronimo’s Story of His Life
GERONIMO
Geronimo’s Story of His Life is the oral life history of a legendary Apache warrior. Composed in 1905, while Geronimo was being held as a U.S. prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Geronimo’s story found audience and publication through the efforts of S. M. Barrett--Lawton, Oklahoma, Superintendent of Education, who wrote in his preface that “the initial idea of the compilation of this work was . . . to extend to Geronimo as a prisoner of war the courtesy due any captive, i.e. the right to state the causes which impelled him in his opposition to our civilization and laws.” Barrett, with the assistance of Asa Deklugie, son of Nedni chief Whoa as Apache translator, wrote down the story as Geronimo told it --beginning with an Apache creation myth. Geronimo recounted bloody battles with Mexican troopers, against whom he had vowed vengeance in 1858 after they murdered his mother, his wife, and his three small children. He told of treaties made between Apaches and the U.S. Army--and treaties broken. There were periods of confinement on the reservations, and escapes. And there were his final days on the run, when the U.S. Army put 5000 men in the field against his small band of 39 Apache.
Geronimo had been a prisoner of war for 19 years when he told his story. Born in 1829, he was by then an old man, no longer a warrior, and he had come to an accommodation with many things “white,” including an appreciation of money. U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs personnel took him to the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, where he roped cows in the “wild west show” and signed his name for “ten, fifteen, or twenty five cents.” By then he was perhaps the United States’ most “famous” Indian. In 1905 he was even invited to ride horseback in President Theodore Roosevelt’s inaugural parade (though still a prisoner of war!).
Geronimo dedicated his book to Roosevelt with the plea that he and his people be allowed to return to their ancestral land in Arizona. “It is my land, my home, my father’s land, to which I now ask to be allowed to return. I want to spend my last days there, and be buried among those mountains. If this could be I might die in peace.” Geronimo died at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1909, still a prisoner of war.
