But altough, reading between the lines, I surmise this would have been a strict man, his deeds are laudable and his legacy impressive. More leaders today could be reminded that "if anything is brought forward for the good of humanity, difficulties will vanish if the problem is tackled with sufficient courage". An interesting bio well told, Nick, in words and images. The firehall-turned-museum is very attractive.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742413208415891459.post-37097796245420346272012-04-20T07:09:27.645+05:452012-04-20T07:09:27.645+05:45What an intruiging life Samuel Maugher led, Nick. ...What an intruiging life Samuel Maugher led, Nick. Intruiging because so many things that he became involved with would stamp him as a potential Labor politician, rather than a conservative.<br /><br />I love the name of the Anti-Sweating League. I thought you had written Anti-Swearing to start with and thought what a harbinger of things to come! I wonder what happened to the Anti-sweating League and what led to its demise?<br /><br />I agree with other commenters that one would be hard-pressed to find a more worthy museum to firefighters the world over - perhaps in NYC. I do love the facade of the museum and how it is picked out in gold (or painted, perhaps).<br /><br />Both those paintings, the CFA and the MFB, deserve to be shown to a wider audience.<br /><br />Samuel Maugher had 8 children. I do hope his descendents are aware and proud of their lineage.<br /><br />Terrific detail and effort in this post, Nick.
