Not sure if you guys know about Ron Roizen’s awesome history posts he’s been publishing to his blog lately. He writes a lot of really great content about the history of Wallace and may be too humble to post much of his work here, but there are two series of note that I want to draw your attention to:
1. The tale of the Rossi murder, which you may read about here.
2. The tale of COL Wallace, the founder of the town and subject of a forthcoming book by Tony Bamonte of Tornado Creek Publications. I learned a lot from part 4a, which is the most recent one, found here.
Ron’s area of expertise is actually alcohol. No, not because he spends all his time drinking, but because he got a Ph.D. from a fancy school that says he knows something about the sociology of alcohol, and then he also got paid to spend his time doing research on it. Maybe in the future he will feel like writing a bit about the history of alcohol in Wallace for readers of our little History of Wallace blog… (hint, hint).
