... that American Elmer Carlson became a national
cornhusking champion in 1935? Source: Wadsley, Virginia. Iowans Who Made a Difference. Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. p. 49-50.
ALT2: ... that Elmer Carlson paid for
Hopi Native Americans from Arizona to
rain dance in
Audubon County, Iowa? Source: Wadsley, Virginia. Iowans Who Made a Difference. Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. p. 49-50.
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Looks okay to me. All three hooks are wildly interesting (if I had to rank them, I'd say ALT1, ALT0, ALT2 based off of the "wackiness" factor), Earwig has nothing, everything looks sourced, and QPQ is done. AGF on the offline hook source.
