Hello, Dale.........

I am aware that Colonel John Singleton Mosby was outraged when a student 
from the University of Virginia football team died from an injury 
received during a football game and said so in a scathing op-ed.  I'm 
guessing that it was early in the 20th Century, as Mosby had worked for 
the Southern Pacific RR until 1901.  I do not know exactly when or the 
newspaper, but would guess it was the Charlottesville paper.  Do you 
have any suggestions as to where I may look?

I look for your early reply......


David
