Why did Mr Earhart die?
I assume you mean Amelia"s father. He was an old and busy man- a lawyer and a one-time purchasing agent for the ATSF railroad which may explain Amelia"s fascination with Turquoise- gem stone of the Santa Fe. He was rumored to be a heavy drinker and I believe was divorced at the time of his death.
Did Amelia Earhart have a big house?
Yes, she rose from comfortable circumstanced regarding living styles. the house where she was born and grew up is currently a museum in Atcheson, Ks. Yes, her father worked for the A.T.S.F. line as a purchasing agent. The ATSF is familiar to all railroad buffs, Keep the Faith, bro! ( popular name literally means Holy Faith!) ( Santa Fe)
When was the first turquoise car manufactured?
Turquoise is a color and not a model of a car, usually special types of paint are needed to render this color accurately, something not ordinarily done on an assembly line protocol! Custom Cars with Turquoise paint jobs certainly existed as far back as the Thirties. The color was virtually the ( color of arm of service) for the ATSF railroad and maybe some ATSF executives had this color on their personal ( automobile, not RR) cars. Fine for custom cars!
Where did Amelia Earhart live?
She grew up in Atchison, Kansas. The house still exists and is a museum Nice place to live and quite up to date for the times. She was born in l897. No backwater shack or cabin here, but a comfortable dwelling of the Middle Class. Old man was a purchasing agent for the ATSF this may explain her ( and her sister"s) predilection for Turquoise, official Stone of the ATSF line- a Turquoise room in a dining car, etc.
Anyone know the value of a Amelia Earhart signed photo?
It is hard to say, they were produced in great quantities and handed out (By Amelia) at air shows, and book-signing fests. multiple signatures with other women pilots- as Amelia headed up the Ninety-Nines, would of course be valuable. There were a good many facsimile signatures- and the adoption of the Amelia Earhart name by a familiar luggage manufacturer , active into the seventies- adds to the confusion, if you have doubts as to the authenticity= contact the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison, Kansas. Yes, on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe ! Her father worked for the ATSF as a purchasing agent.
Were Amelia Earharts parents pilots?
According to the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum her father was a railroad engineer, cross checking with other sources there is no indication that her mother or father were pilots. Amelia Earhart saw her first airplane at age 10 at a state fair.
How did mission san Rafael get its name?
From the Saint. Spanish missions ( which were run by the Franciscan Friars and Padres- naturally were church-oriented- so are most ( if only in name) of the major cities in California- from North ( San Francisco) to South ( Ciudad de Los Angeles- or is it Angeles perdidas ( lost angels- divvils, don"t you know) Most Spanish-Colonized cities ( and look at Santa Fe- lit- Holy Faith (yeah, living steel!) well literally under the Cross- , ATSF railway had a cruciform trade-mark!San Rafael expedition of l927- that"s something else- Follow the ships that call not back! It has never been as popular as, say the Titanic or even the Electra Project- both of which ended tragically Dig in to San Rafael!
How did Spanish missions effect CA?
Look at a map- the Spanish missionaries founded practically all the major cities in the Golden State. the KIng"s Highway ran from San Francisco ( founded by Franciscan Father Juniperro Serra) all the way upstate to what is now L.A. note the many city names honoring saints- Santa Monica, San Rafael, San Luis Opisbo ( St. Louis, the Bishop,) and so on. The Missions also affected a certain architectural and cultural style- Mission architecture later adopted by the ATSF- shorn of religious angles- one mignt note Santa Fe means Holy Faith and the trademark is cruciform. So look at the map, and I add, don"t blame Seismic activity entirely on St. Gabriel. ( why can"t he practice his Alto Horn, say in the Phantom Zone)- The San Gabriel fault is one of the shaky parts of the state.- oh, and San Bernardino ( little St. Bernard) may be the inspiration for (Dogpatch) it has a Railroad Tunnel- , well St. Bernard is a dog- path is slang for a tunnel portal... oh well, Keep the faith.
Did Amelia Earhart like nature?
Especially in that period, it would go with the job. By the way there is a passage in the book on the Friendship Flight, where the on-duty Forward Observer sighted- and made a sketch- of what she believed was a Plesiosaur- over the Atlantic! This is in the first edition of the book. Being a forward observer you get to see things that the men behind the controls and instrument panels would obviously miss, being preoccupied with flying the plane. look it up! She also liked Horses as a young girl which is natural enough coming from the ATSF territory.
Do Native Americans Use or used any form of voodoo?
No, but as with any Tribal society- or societies, there are plenty of odd cultural practices which might be confused with Voodoo. For example Katchina, also spelled Kachina.. Kachina ( pronounced roughly Catch-china!) means approximately human spirit body or soul-mate. they took the form of more-or-less anthropomorphic dolls and were a sort of mixture of charm-companion and boogeyman. they somewhat resembled the images on totem poles and are infrequently called ( Totem pole dolls) which is incorrect. there were zoomorphic decorations and designs on the helmets or hats ( well, we have the American Eagle on Garrison hats, right/) These dolls, called katchinas, were most popular in the Southwest and some were sold in souvenir shops off the Santa Fe railroad line. For some reason (maybe the fact that founder of the 99"s, Amelia Earhart , was the daughter of a Santa Fe executive, the idea took-off ( no pun intended) with the women fliers and they had a Katchina Doll 200 mile air race, and so on. Katchina dolls were prizes used. Katchina is not voodoo but the doll angle, well, perhaps a kindred spirit, but not really, Back in the sixties when Indian lore was a popular subject in magazine articles, stuff on the Katchina flourished- by the way it is NOT as tribe.. different tribes used them, mostly in the ATSF line area- a lot of ground!
Is she'll be comin round the mountain when she comes a Christmas carol?
"She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" is not a Christmas carol, but rather a traditional American folk song. The song describes the anticipation of someone's arrival while riding on various modes of transportation like a train and a carriage. It is not specifically associated with Christmas but is rather a playful tune that talks about everyday life events.
Where did baseball originate?
Early stick and ball games were played in Europe in the 1700's. These games migrated to the colonies. In the 1840's a sportswriter in New York by the name of Alexander Joy Cartwright wrote down the rules. They were soon followed by many clubs. Baseball was spread widely throughout the U.S. as a result of the Civil War.
