In September 1887, long before she circled the globe alone, Nellie Bly stood before a mirror and practiced her lunatic look.
Great article, never saw her statue on Roosevelt Island but will make it a point to do so.
Way ahead of Geraldo Rivera and Willowbrook…
Thanks, Jack, for yet another fascinating story.
Thanks, Linda. I first came across Nellie Bly reading about John L. Sullivan, the first champion boxer---she even interviewed HIM (and poked his biceps).
Fascinating piece. Thanks, Jack.
Wonderful statue of her. Modern. Saintly character. Thnx. Tom
