Abstract:
George McPoole, alias Lord Salisbury, was always ostentatiously dressed, and never missed a public appearance in Statesville. Described by onlookers as a carousel, McPoole adopted his colorful attire in an effort to heal a wounded ego after losing the woman he loved. Lord Salisbury performed magic tricks and continued making appearances until his death. It was reported close to 10,000 people attended his funeral services.
