I haven't read all the posts here to see if this is covered, but I am trying to find any history on people who jumped at county fairs in the early 1900's. I found one reference to this on a history website in Iowa in 1908. My particular interest come from a diary mentioning a jump in October 1912 in Pecos Texas. Hopefully one of the links below will provide an image of that page.

Any comments or expertise in how to flesh out who this might have been is greatly appreciated and thanks,
