[Broadside] [Wrestling] [Sports] [Pacific Northwest] [African American]
Illustrated Broadside or Poster Announcing WRESTLING: HOOD RIVER Oregon; Seelie Samara George Hardison Boston versus Jack Forsgren Canada; Albert Carral vs. Bob Kruse
Hood River News 1939. Paperback. FINE. Printed Red on 11 x 17' white cardstock. We date this poster around 1939 based on martching Hood River News wrestling broadsides with dated newspaper clippings. 'Former location Penny-Wise Store on Heights Hood River.' Some very trivial rubbing to the tips otherwise uncommonly clean and sharp. Top billing heavyweight match features an absolutely yoked and glistening Seelie Samara stage-name for George Hardison an African-American athlete and one of the most prominent characters in the early years of the 'Golden Age' revival of dramatic/entertainment wrestling in America. Hardison was born in Georgia and after a stint as a carnival strongman was scouted by 'Tiger Man' John Pesek who became his boxing trainer. Sometime in the late 30's Hardison began competing in staged Wrestling matches in the Northeast. In 1938 he signed with promoter Jack Pfefer with whom he began traveling extensively; while he was regularly billed in the Midwest and California this broadside is the only record we found of Pacific Northwest appearance. From the early-40's onward Hardison's appearances were confined to segregated 'Race Matches'; he would hold claim to the 'Negro World Heavyweight Championship' belt through the early 50's. Cory Santos writes 'A fan favorite Samara had power and technical prowess in equal measures. His muscularity was unique for the era; his bulging physique was a striking contrast to the bulkier frames of many heavyweights of the period. The Samara character also included costume elements — the most noteworthy of which was a Muslim head wrap Hardison used when being advertised from Algeria his most common birthplace or Afghanistan. Still given the huge number of strange hometowns it is difficult to keep track of exactly what character elements are geographically based and which are just random items based on the fanciful imaginations of “Africa†from countless midwestern promoters. But a sense of fair play honor and respect defined the Seelie and variants Ras and Haille Samara characters to audiences. Combined with his impressive physique these virtues earned him lasting nicknames including “Negro Hercules†“Black Adonis†the “insert location here Wildman†and famously the “Black Panther.†'Seelie Samara: A Forgotten African-American Great.'.

Illustrated on recto and verso with 6 large color deck plans delineating decks amenities cabins for first class and tourist class passengers together with black and white photo illustrations. Scarce deck plan for the Empress of Canada SS Duchess of Richmond and the Empress of France SS Duchess of Richmond after the two 20400 tons ocean liners had been refitted following World War II. Initially launched as the "Mini-Empresses" but also referred to as the "Drunken Duchesses" as they tended to roll in heavy seas. They were designed to allow travelers to sail further up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal as well as to those wishing to travel into the Great Lakes. The ships were fitted with enough capacity to hold 400 first class passengers and 300 tourist class passengers. The ships entered service from Liverpool to Montreal in July 1947 and September 1948 respectively. Sadly the Empress of Canada caught fire in 1953 and after re-floating was scrapped in Italy the following year.
