A accident left John Evans with one arm and one hand. A bold surgeon set things right, sewing the left hand onto the right arm

Article Abstract:

Evans right hand and left arm were severed after he was hit by a train while crossing some tracks. The right hand was too badly mangled to replace, so Dr. Richard Brown decided that Evans would function best with his left hand attached to his right arm. Evans is still learning to use his backwards hand.

Gypsies

Article Abstract:

Gypsies lead a life separate from mainstream culture and feel contaminated by too much contact with non-gypsies. The family of Grover Marks has faced harassment by the Spokane, Washington police. This contact with the police and the court system has also caused them to be shunned by their own people.
