My name is Traci Muldoon, the third great...Hi Rob,<br /><br />My name is Traci Muldoon, the third great niece of William Muldoon. I am Robert's grand daughter. Robert is the nephew mentioned in the newspaper articles regarding who The Solid Man gave his inheritance to. I just recently found out about the significance of my great, great, great uncle William! And frankly, I am blown away. I have recently been contacted by reporters in Belfast to do a feature story on my relation to him and I was doing some research tonight and came across your article. <br /><br />If you know anything about William's connection with the military, I'd really appreciate it. I am currently trying to solve that mystery. I added the follow up comments on this post I am writing to my personal email so I should get the notification if you do reply so we can connect. <br /><br />Hope to hear back from you. <br /><br />- Traci Muldoon Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456142167879569288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-39458559257110739812009-07-26T23:12:01.876-07:002009-07-26T23:12:01.876-07:00Muldoon wrestled in August 1881 at Denver in old T...Muldoon wrestled in August 1881 at Denver in old Turner Hall at what is now Market and 20th.

Very interesting, and makes sense.<BR/><BR/>I am related to Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith and wanted to let you know that although many authors have linked Soapy with the "Solid Muldoon," this is incorrect. Soapy had his own petrified man, named "McGinty" which was a real human being intentionally petrified. It was "found" in Creede, Colorado in 1892. He then took it to Denver and placed it on display, where it was photographed. I have a copy of that photograph and it will be included, along with all the details, in my biography on Soapy coming out in the spring of 2009.<BR/><BR/>I do have some information on "McGinty" on the family website about Soapy Smith. I look forward to hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>Jeff Smith<BR/><A HREF="http://www.soapysmith.net/index.html" REL="nofollow">Soapy Smith Preservation Trust</A>Jeff Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680146273701688630noreply@blogger.com
