Thanks @PeteForsyth:. In the article I started about Seth, it says he bought out Henderson in 1857, and this article says 1859. Do we have a definitive source? Valfontis (talk) 16:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am starting a timeline on Joseph Hamilton Lambert's talk page of all people. Valfontis (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Valfontis: cool - sorry, missed your ping earlier. Not sure where I read that, but if I didn't cite it explicitly, it likely wasn't a great source. I'd say go with yours. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 05:18, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas for expansion[edit]

I think we really need to mention "free love" in the context of the utopian experiment (that would have made a great DYK). (I know, I know, just WP:DOIT, ha ha.) Valfontis (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It really is a tantalizing tidbit. He was mocked in papers all over the country. Almost felt sorry for him, with his earnest do-gooderism, but the string of ex-wives he left behind (including the one whose parents he mooched off of after his failed ventures) kinda made me sympathize with his detractors. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 05:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a rather thorough recounting. The Bee had more coverage of this voyage too. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 05:27, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
