I have been watching this since it's inception and find the entire thing absolutely fascinating. It seems that there will be an entry per day which will have to do with anything from the game from that day to other happenings and daily life in 1927. There are also Twitter accounts that are set up as if they were being done in 1927. Such a fascinating idea of bringing the past to life using the media of today.

John Thorn is a consultant on the project.

I urge anyone and everyone to check it out and follow along.

Pretty cool, I'll check it out. This project reminds me of a few years ago there was a live tweet real time reenactment of Quantrill's raid by a bunch of actors in Lawrence Ks. It really brings old events to life.

Interesting read.

Putting a face to the name, Myles Thomas (I believe) was only pictured on two items: a Kolb's pinback and a 1933 Worch Cigars card...
