A million tales in the world of American folklore have been spun from an extraordinary, almost magical photograph: reportedly taken on June 5, 1905 short stories, songs, oil paintings all were spun from that photo. The best known song is a 1972 song  by Michael Martin Murphey, “Geronimo’s Cadillac,” also covered by Hoyt Axton, Cher, and others. This episode explores the painful truth of the photo and how it came about, the song and the car. Hint- it's NOT a Cadillac.

This series of Get F--cing real is also dedicated to some of my  rough and tough formal co-workers in the trucking and distribution side of the business.  Roslyn and Miranda cornered me one day and  said, “I get it Chris, I get the positive thinking  and the quotes but I need them real. They need  grit or vulgarity to be real to me.” So, Roslyn & Miranda and to the group that  worked with you on the dock and in the trucks.  This one is real and just for you. This one  consists of a little humor, some vulgarities in  wit, some quotes that will make you think and  take action and other that may make you say  WTF? Thank you for the motivation to do a book series and a blog and a podcast with a little grit and to be real. Enjoy, the lessons. This series will consists of 8 podcasts focusing on motivations and affirmations to be f--cking real. - Chris Edwards

New Mexico History- The Founding of Alamogordo and the evolution of High School Athletics 1912- 1950's. In 1898 Alamogordo was split into two cities: Alamogordo a primarily Caucasian enclave and Chihuahua a primarily Mexican/Latin American enclave. The two were merged in 1912 and became the incorporated city of Alamogordo, New Mexico.... Dudley School was built in 1914 and had four classrooms. Dudley School was set up as part of a segregation plan at the time and specialized in children that did not speak English being educated in a separate school facility. Hispanics could not go north of 10th Street or into the plaza at the time. The city of Alamogordo, New Mexico with its proximity to Texas was a racially divided city.... Alamogordo High School began an organized sports program in 1912 for Caucasian boys offering PE, Track & Field and Basketball and Football. The African American School was called the Delaware School and the school that spoke Spanish only was the Dudley School. Athletes from those schools were segregated from the white schools of the time.

This episode explains the creation and history of interscholastic (organized high school sports) in the US and then more directly to New Mexico and the small town impact on Alamogordo New Mexico. The idea of interscholastic sports was to toughen up the Caucasian American boy whom at the turn of the century, early 1900s feared as becoming weak and loosing his competitive edge to immigrants. The toughening of the American male was seen as a necessary outcome. Learn more by listening or check us out online.
