| Note | One of the many who came to the Aladdin, Wyoming area from foreigncountries before the turn of the century was Swan Pearson. He was one ofnine children born to Per and Elna Jonson, of Billinge (Billingee)Sweden. He was born 06 March 1854. As was the custom the children tookthe father’s name, adding the three letters 'son', this becoming their surname. Letters of encouragement from their brothers overseas arrived, tellingof the many advantages in the New World of America, where land could beeasily obtained and many opportunities awaited them. The winter of 1879Swan decided to join his two brothers and families who had come to Kansasten years earlier. In 1880 he came to the Black Hills where a brother,John, owned and operated a sawmill. From there the two brothers moved tothe Bear Lodge area of Crook County, Wyoming. During the early days of the coal mines on Hay Creek, Swan built alarge frame building at Bakertown, one of the two coal mines towns, ofwhich he occupied one part and a family by the name of Robinson lived inthe other part. Later he filed on a pre-emption a short distance west ofthe present Aladdin Store. There he and Fritz Mortensen established ahorse ranch. Wolves killed many of the colts. The den of a female wasdiscovered on Table Mountain and a group of men destroyed the pups, butthe mother wolf escaped. When the Spanish American War broke out severalhundred head of saddle horses, including Swan’s were rounded up andtrailed to Fort Meade, South Dakota and sold to the army. Swan’s partner lost his life in work connected with the coal mine andwas buried on the pre-emption. Swan later filed and proved up on land near Aladdin. He never marriedas an unhappy affair during his youth made him decide the life of abachelor was for him. In later years he spent several winters withrelatives in Kansas. He spent his last years in a little house near the home of his niece,Mrs. Matt Whalen, where he passed away on 20 July 1939, and was buried atAlva, Wyoming. --- this statement is listed on page 393 in the book -- 'Pioneers Of Crook County 1876- 1920', by the Crook CountyHistorical Society, Crook County, Wyoming, published by State Publishing Company, 303 East Sioux, Pierre, South Dakota, Copyright 1981. |

| Note | Peter Pearson came to this the Hulett area from Sweden in 1892 when hewas fourteen years old with his brother, Troed Pearson. He worked on ranches and sawmills until the outbreak of the war withSpain. At that time there was a man in western South Dakota. A man witha broad grin and a moustache by the name of 'Teddy' Roosevelt, who was inthe process of organizing the 'Rough Riders.' When Pearson joined up, hebecame a member of Troop C. Black Hills squadron, under the command ofCol. Grasby. There were three regiments of cavalry which made up theRough Riders. Officially they were known as the 3rd volunteer U.S.Cavalry. Only one out of four volunteers could make it. The others wereturned down. His training took place at Ft. Meade, South Dakota. Aftertraining, the Rough Riders left for Cuba. War in Cuba wasn't anythinglike the frontier. The Rough Riders were now 'dismounted cavalry,'They wore hot woolen uniforms and jungle life was anything but pleasant.Peter said they put ashore in rowboats and the invasion was on. A great many names in Cuba's geography are familiar. He troop over muchof the island before the famed charge up San Juan Hill. It was theregiment that was so active in the Cuban campaign, under the command ofTheodore Roosevelt. After the war, Peter returned to the Black Hills and began working on therailroad for awhile. He was married in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1911. In1912 they moved to Twin Falls, Idaho where they lived the rest of theirlives. He was probably best remembered for carrying the U.S. flag in almost allof the civil parades in Twin Falls. He took great pride in carrying theStars and Stripes.
