08/12/2004 Entry: "8/13/04: Angus MacAskill"

Years ago when I began my newsletter MuscleSearch, it was in part to dispel and correct some of the greater myths that had been bobbing in the lifting waters without ever quite landing ashore carrying proof.

One such situation involved Angus MacAskill, a man about whom stories of strength abounded but consistent details did not. Some of the tales were taller than he was! Some of the claims are easily disproved if the writer looked any deeper than the shoreline water lapping those claims onto the beach.

Here is the article that appeared in the inaugural issue of MuscleSearch June/July 1985. If you wish to discuss this article, join us at the free forums at ironhistory.com by using real name registration.
