Death Valley Ranch / Scotty's Castle
Scotty did not build this!
It was built by a Chicago millionaire Albert Johnson, as a winter holiday retreat, although he let his friend Scotty live there, and indeed in his will granted it to a religious organisation on condition that Scotty could stay there until his own deathchrisboote 14:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Newton - Emporia Engineer Hadley R. Rossetter or H. R. Rossiter (spelling)?
The article lists the Newton - Emporia Engineer as Hadley R. Rossetter with Signor and Balwin Locomotive Works (1906) as sources. Is the spelling of the last name correct? I do not have access to the first source. But the Baldwin Locomotive Works (1906) lists "Engineer H. Rossiter" for Newton-Emporia. Furthermore, "Heroic. Engineer's Life. Duty's Penalty. Man who hauled "Scotty's Special" Killed in Wreck. California Limited No. 3, On Santa Fe, Runs Into Open Switch With Fatal Results..." Los Angeles Times July 31, 1908, p. 16 fourth paragraph first sentence: "Engineer H. R. Rossiter is the man who hauled Walter Scott's Death Valley special through Kansas several years ago."
