Talk:John LaMountain

La Mountain or LaMountain: two words or one?
In all the articles or biographies I have read where John LaMountain's name appears, the LaMountain is spelled as one word with two upper case letters, L and M. The original start of this article was John LaMountain redirected to John La Mountain. It's moot, but in my editing of the article I have redirected the spelling to one word. See the name of the article on Los Angeles City Councilman, Tom LaBonge.--Magi Media (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

This article majorly redacted
I came upon this article by happenstance only to read anything I knew about John LaMountain as completely opposite. I do not wish to take it away from the originating author, but my research shows that the facts concerning LaMountain and his relationship to John Wise were twisted almost 180. Please refer yourself to my articles on Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, John Wise, and the Union Army Balloon Corps. I also suggest looking up the biographical data found in the books Above the Civil War (1965) by Eugene Block and One Man Air Force (1957) by Mary Hoehling. Also see the accounts in Professor Lowe's Official Report (Part I) (1863) to the Secretary of War. In these find that John Wise was the better considered balloonist between Wise and LaMountain, and that Wise built the balloon Atlantic, and that Wise had all along planned on a transatlantic trip, not LaMountain, and that the only other consideration for a transatlantic trip was planned by Thaddeus Lowe. If I am mistaken, then I am reading the wrong books. Thank you, readers.--Magi Media (talk) 21:21, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
