Research
A visit to Barney Ford house in Breckenridge, CO. Ford operated a restaurant just down the hill from his home. He had successful restaurant and hotel ventures in Breckenridge, Denver, and Cheyenne, WY.
Only a few years earlier he was an escaped slave.
Doing research in Leadville, CO, a town located at 10,400 feet above sea-level in elevation . It is called the Two Mile High City. It was the home of J. J. Brown and his wife Margaret (who you might know as the Unsinkable Molly Brown.) This cabin was moved to museum grounds from where it was actually somebody's home in the late 1870 and early 1880s.

Speaking personally, I don’t think your imitation of a hog farmer or sewer worker is acceptable. Furthermore, I don’t know what happened to your hand, but bandages won’t get any sympathy from me. I don’t even want to hear about the eye. Jake, say hello to your wife and kids for me. You may be seated, gentlemen.” McSlee went back to sorting his notes.
“But Your Honor, I—”
