Every so often there is a move to change the name back to Mauch Chunk. He had no connection to the town, never visited it in life. Town residents complained that while they were promised tourism & a spoorting goods factory if they gave Thorpe a tomb "All we got was a dead indian".Saxophobia 08:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The handprint on the jail cell wall that won't go away

Anyone have information about the jail located here and the relationship to the legend of one of the Molly Maguires handprint proclaiming his innocence on the jail wall? This hand print that won't go away some 100 years later before he was executed? Still there today.

Might be an excellent addition, Found it: The Old Jail/ The Handprint of Alexander Campbell that never goes away, June 21, 1877

Put it into extrnal links, What an eerie story!Scott 03:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Temp. page out of control

Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania/Temp needs to be merged here. We now have two independent articles about this location, because this temp. page was never deleted. --Czj 02:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV in recreation section.

This section reads very POV to me. Just thought I should bring it to someone's attention.66.24.253.111 04:52, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
