Joe PelaezSorry I didn't get back sooner.
Had to get some supplies, then when I got back, I had to take care of some things.
Then I took on the sites that you posted. .. Wow! - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I just finished reading them. ... my sun dial reads 03:40AM.
I wish that I could remember the title, but it helped me nail down the year (1944) when that 13 year old kid (me) read the book that mentioned Sockalexis, and it brought a lump to my throat.
Sockalexis and Wahooism was truly a sad read.
Bear in mind, most of the books that you guys are talking about came much later. .... followed by the internet.
The Chief Zimmer story was also an interesting read, I didn't know that story, but then again, when the fans looked at their programs ... they would see two Chief's, a real one, and an appointed one.
Dan, thanks again.

Hello Rhys,
Also much appreciative for your interesting information.
With the names of Jennings, McGraw, Ed Barrow's and other knowledgeable contemporaries casting their votes for Sockalexis, I just have to cast my vote with the gut feeling of that 13 year old kid, of 63 years ago.
I find the Poughkeepsie Indians baseball team information, very interesting.
You say that the Chief Zimmer information is widely known, I agree with you, but widely known only within the confines of the specialist in that area.
Again Rhys, thanks for sharing.
Would love to see that Sockalexis scan. 
Joe
