The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County ~ By Mark Twain 1835-1910
Posted by: thepinetree on 05/15/2024 09:15 AM
Angels Camp, CA...In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result. I have a lurking suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley is a myth; that my friend never knew such a personage; and that he only conjectured that, if I asked old Wheeler about him, it would remind him of his infamous Jim Smiley, and he would go to work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me. If that was the design, it certainly succeeded.

Angels Camp, CA...(Frogtown, USA)...On Wednesday evening Fair & Frog Jump Season kicked into high gear with the annual kick off dinner. We will have a separate story with video and details of those who were honored including the Sender Family who will be honored at this year's fair. Most importantly however was this is the annual Calaveras County Hazing contest as if you are a young lady who has royal Calaveras Saddle Queen or Miss Calaveras aspirations a bit of frog kissing must be done. Since Frogs are true Calaveras Royalty future queens must pay their respects. Sometimes the most fun was watching the girl's expressions after the deed had been done. A few photos are below...
