Ep 28-Mary Chamberlain Pt 2:💰High Pay, No Glory🫣 & a Rollaway Saloon🍺 in Fried Onion, AZ🌵
Episode 28
Friday, 1 August, 2025

Send us a textThe all-woman town council of Kanab, Utah, wasn’t just a quirky footnote in frontier history—they were a civic force with apron strings and iron wills. In this second half of their story, the ordinances keep coming, but marshals keep quitting. So the women place a help-wanted ad for a man with “spine, humor, and no fear of mothers.”But not every tale from their tenure is quite so grounded…We investigate the myth of the “Rollaway Saloon”—a bar-on-logs said to have dodged prohibition by rolling across the Utah-Arizona border. You’ll hear the outrageous cowboy version told by Rowland W. Rider… and the butter-churning, baby-raising truth recorded by the locals who actually lived it.Also in this episode:— A showdown over 12 gallons of “medicinal” liquor 🥃 — A marshal who answers to “Marsha” 🤠 — A fruit festival🍇🍑welcome party for the first automobile to reach the North Rim— A young Edwin Dilworth Chamberlain explaining why Kanab watermelons grow so big🍉🤭— And a poetic farewell to the women who governed with grit, prayer, and a rocking chair in every meeting. This is the finale of Kanab’s Petticoat Government. And you’ll never see a “women’s meeting” the same way again.Support the show🕵️‍♂️ Find me at https://www.FamilyHistoryDrama.com📧 Email me at FamilyHistoryDrama@gmail.com🐦 Tweet the Podcast @FamilyHistoryFMGenerational Healing Through Family HistoryMemories Are Passed Through DNA From Your Grandparents, Say Scientistshttps://www.buzzworthy.com/memories-dna-grandparents/Sound Credits: https://freesound.org INSTAGRAM:@FamilyHistoryDrama@TravisM.Heaton
