This is a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad wagon, the forerunner of today’s SUV. It’s possible that the finish is flat black primer, but I think it’s more likely a urethane flat black that is the final color. Other than the paint, not much was done to the body, and we can’t see the engine. So, why did I take this custom’s picture?
I like wagons.

The history of Vienna's Christmas market
The assumption, forerunners of the Viennese Christmas market had been held for more than 600 years ago, is not true. In the year 1382, to which these assumptions relate, renewed Duke Albrecht III only the market law of the City of Vienna. This allowed, among other things, the holding of fairs, which took place 14 days before and after Christ's ascension, and 14 days before and after St. Kathrein (November 25). These markets, however, were not related with the celebration of Christmas.
In medieval Vienna, there was no Christmas markets. The urban settlements from this period have no income and expenditure in such a context. The invoices from the 17th Century exist only patchy.
Therefore no reliable date can be specified for the first occurrence of Christmas markets. Records from 1600 show that cabins on the trench (Graben) and on the fire place (Brandstätte), ie before Sankt Stephan, on 9 January have been dismantled and on 16 and 17 December re-erected. This market bore the name "Thomas market". In these stalls Peckn (Baker), gingerbread maker and Zuggerpacher (confectioners) offered their goods. These stands were found around Christmas time in the area Graben - Stephansplatz to the year in 1761. Then, this market was closed.
First mentioned in 1722
Already in 1722 found a on Freyung held "St. Nicholas, Christmas and Nativity market" mention. Since at the same time was a regular market there, conflicts between the state holders of the one and the other market in 1842 led to the tentative relocation of Nicholas and Christmas market on the square Am Hof. This relocation was definitely 1843, each time on the 5th December, the 132 cribs market stalls were set up and remained standing until the New Year.
End of Fairs

The Christmas market am Hof (1917 )
1872 the old Viennese markets were closed by a decision of the council, as they had lost their original meaning in the modern city. The exception was the Christmas Market. 1903, the 128 stands were renewed and received first electric lighting.
First and Second World War
A difficult time for the now regular "Christkindlmarkt" named event began with the First World War. In 1923 it was held again on the Freyung, 1924-1928 modest extent before the Stephansdom. From 1929 on the Neubaugürtel - above the Hesserdenkmals (Monument) - relocated, the Christmas market came 1938 on the Am Hof square back. During the Christmas time of 1943 once again the Stephansplatz was its location. Then the fast to the city approaching and across moving war prevented its holding. At Christmas 1946, a new start on the square before the Trade Fair Palace was attempted.
Last Location Town Square

The Christmas market at the Neubaugürtel (1950 )
1949 the Christmas Market moved back to the Neubaugürtel, where he remained until 1957. Then again held before the Trade Fair Palace, failed in 1963 an attempt to establish the Christkindlmarkt as a counterpart to fasting market in the Kalvarienberggasse in the 17th district. 1975 had to be found an alternative venue because of the construction of the underground car park in front of the Messepalast (trade fair palace). First, temporarily set up at the town hall square, soon the combination of the Christmas market and the "Magic of Advent" in both sides of the adjacent City Hall Park created such a moody atmosphere that this location for years to come seems certain for the Christmas market .

BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL – THE PINERY STATION
BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL
First Overland Mail Route from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco, California.
As a forerunner of the Pony Express and Transcontinental Railroad, the Butterfield Overland Mall was the first successful attempt to link East and West with a reliable transportation and communication system. Much of the route in this part of the country followed the well-defined path of thousands of emigrants and gold-seekers traveling westward during the previous decade. The arduous 2.700-mile wilderness journey between St. Louis and San Francisco was always completed within 25 days as stipulated in John Butterfield's federal mail contract.
The six-year federal mail contract awarded to John Butterield, a wealthy and popular businessman, was cut short by the onset of the Civil War in 1861, yet the Butterfield Overland Mail was heralded by some one or the “greatest events of the age.”
“Remember boys, nothing on God's earth must stop the United States mail!”
-John Butterfield's instructions to his drivers.
THE PINERY STATION
Pinerv Station, named for the surrounding stands of pine, has the distinction of being the only ruin of an original company-built, Butterfield station standing in close proximity to a national highway. At 5.700 feet in elevation, it was also the highest and was especial attractive because of its excellent grazing land and dependable water sources.
Butterfield stations were located an average of 20 miles apart. For eleven months from September 1858 to August 1859, coaches regularly stopped here for water. food. rest. fresh mule teams, and protection. Drivers and passengers kept company with the station keeper, cooks, blacksmith, freighters, gold seekers, adventurers, and settlers. Long atter the station was abandoned for a more adequately protected route designed to better serve a chain of forts further south, the limestone walls continued to provide refuge for freighters, soldiers, drovers, outlaws, and emigrants.
THE CELERITY COACH
Speed was imperative; a Celerity coach traveled day and night averaging 120 miles a day carrying up to nine passengers, essential baggage, and 12,000 letters. Six horses or mules pulled each coach. These coaches, similar to what were later known as mud-wagons due to their low center of gravity. were well adapted to the rough mountains and desert country. They were either painted or varnished red or a dark bottle green. Wire pattern candle lamps provided light inside the leather-lined coaches. One hundred of these wagons were built in 1857 at a cost of $1,500 each and placed in the Butterfield Overland Mail service in 1858

A prehistoric enclosed settlement (a round) may have been the forerunner to the well-preserved medieval amphitheatre (Plen-an-Gwary, old Cornish for 'playing place') - one of only two remaining in Cornwall. In mediaeval times the village of St. Just was known as Lafrowda, a religious and market centre for the surrounding farming and fishing communities. The late 15th century church is dedicated to St. Just, from which the town takes its modern day name.
The Ordinalia, a cycle of three Miracle plays telling the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, was first performed in Plen-an-Gwary some 500 years ago. In recent years the whole community has been involved in reviving the tradition using the Plen for a number of different productions and events. The amphitheatre has also hosted the Cornish Gorsedd, Cornish wrestling bouts and miners' rock drilling contests. (from a plaque in town centre)
The Czech Moravian Brethren of Bethel near Tarlee were one of the unique religious groups to settle in this “Paradise of Dissent”. Moravia is a province of the Czech Republic (around Prague) which was from 1850 part of Bohemia. The origins of the Brethren go back to John Huss a Catholic heretic who in 1415 was burned at the stake by the Catholic Church. Heretic followers of Huss formed a breakaway group from the Catholic Church in 1467 including some forerunners of the Moravian Brethren. Martin Luther created the big break from the Catholic Church in Germany in 1517. Eventually during the Counter Reformation and the Thirty Years War (1618-48), a new group of Moravian Brethren moved to Saxony in 1722 to the town of Herrnhut. A new spiritual awakening and the founding of a Moravian Church occurred in 1727 led by Count Zinzendorf (1700-1760). In 1735 many Moravians went to America and founded the church there in the colonies of Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. About 825,000 people worldwide are today members of the Moravian Brethren (Unitas Fratrum). They base everything on the Bible and bishops are selected and elected from the most spiritual members. They pursue missionary work, especially in Africa, and the largest concentration of Moravians today is in Tanzania! They allow members lots of freedom and members can be members of other churches, such as the Lutheran or Presbyterian Churches with which they maintain close links. The Moravian Church is part of the Lutheran World Federation. In Australia Moravians settled in the Western Districts of Victoria from 1850 as well as at Bethel near Tarlee from 1854. Bethel is a German word meaning “place of God.” The Moravians formed “utopian like” communities with communal lands here at Bethel and also at Herrnhut near Hamilton in Western Victoria. Their purpose in forming a farming commune in South Australia was fuelled by the desire for freedom and independence to follow their Christian beliefs and traditions.
The Moravian Brethren came from Saxony although the sect was originally Czech. So they spoke German and usually had German names. They are perhaps best known for their system of houses or “choirs” whereby they maintained separate seating in church for women, men, and single sisters and widows who were separated from the rest of the community. Virgins and single women were usually required to live in one large house together so that their spiritual needs could be dealt with separately. When a girl turned sixteen she was obliged to always wear some pink, usually a scarf or shawl but for church she might wear a pink blouse. Married women would always wear a rich red scarf or shawl. This practice of separating men and women carried over to the cemetery as well, with women being buried on one side and men on the other. You can see this today in the old part of the Bethel cemetery.
In 1854 a pastor by the name of Schondorf was sent out by the parent church at Herrnhut in Saxony to establish a traditional Moravian Christian commune. Schondorf bought up 1,912 acres near Tarlee. The centre of the commune was to be one hundred acres of church property which initially was to be governed and managed by the community for the welfare of the church and pastor alike. A church and school were built and families allocated land which they thought they were buying. The Moravians worked harmoniously together to build their homes, clear their land, and establish a little village in which the focal point was the Church. The Band Hall was for their music performances as these people had a great culture of fine German and European music and they regularly staged performances and concerts, and those musicians in their commune would practice together. They saw their musical talents as perhaps their greatest possession. The Moravians also had a number of different ceremonies, one was the coming of age, or debut, for the girls at sixteen and also the young men attaining their majority at 21 years of age. There were many other functions and ceremonies mostly attached to their worship, Christmas and Easter taking pre-eminence.
All went well for the first twenty years until families discovered they were not buying land, they were only renting it. The community wrote to the mother church in Herrnhut asking for a new priest. In the early 1870's a number in the church members, mainly the younger generation, felt Schondorf was getting too old (he was 60) and they could do with someone with more fluency and style. So they wrote to Herrnhut in Bohemia asking for a younger pastor - without telling Pastor Schondorf. When he found out he objected, refusing to move from the church house because it had been legally signed over to him some years before. The governing committee took him to court but they lost the case and then they took it to the Supreme Court of South Australia where they lost it again. This brought about a permanent rift in the community. However when the new pastor (Jacobi) arrived in 1876 Schondorf had to move out to a cottage he had built for himself about half a mile from the church. Some of the commune members went to his home for services, but in 1877 Schondorf retired a broken man. He died in 1898 and was buried in Kapunda. A few of the community had stayed loyal to Schondorf and they built another church by Schondorf’s cottage 1876. The ruins of the Schondorf properties can be seen from Bethel.
The new Moravian Brethren pastor named Jacobi arrived in 1876. Pastor Jacobi continued until 1891 when he died. Herrnhut then sent out another man, Pastor Buch, but just a few years later in 1895 the Lutherans built a large church at Bethel adjacent to the community. Most of the remaining Moravian Brethren began to attend the Lutheran Church. Pastor Buch was recalled to Bohemia in 1906 so the community severed their connection with Herrnhut in Bohemia and joined a Lutheran Synod. Many of the Moravians were not happy with the new arrangement as the Lutheran pastor (Benman) progressively brought in the practices of the Lutherans including robes, fees for weddings and funerals etc. Not far away from Bethel other Lutherans and Wends ( now called Sorbs) built another Lutheran Church only a kilometre away at Steinthal. The Moravians continued in SA with an offshoot community at South Kilkerran on Yorke Peninsula as the Moravians practised their missionary with the Narrunga people of Yorke Peninsula at Point Pearce Aboriginal Mission. The ruins of Schondorf’s second house, church and graveyard can be seen from the Bethel Lutheran Church. The Moravian church and large school has now been demolished. The Lutheran manse next to the Lutheran Church was built in 1908. The Moravian burials are numbered chronologically, with men and women separated.
As well as the Moravian Brethren there were a number of people of Wendish origin living in the Bethel district. They were from Lusatia, a small area in Germany and had struggled for centuries to maintain their own culture, language and worship although over-ruled by Saxony and Prussia for most of the time. This group had come out to South Australia in 1848, settling at near Riverton, Ebenezer and St Kitts. But some Wends like Peter and George Doecke took up land at Bethel in 1856. Soon others of their family followed. They joined in worship with the Moravians and their children attended the Bethel school, (German being spoken) but by 1860 this influx was over-crowding both the school and the Moravian church. Peter Doecke decided to erect a room on his property for a school and a bit later another to be used as a church which they called "Steinthal". It had an altar and a pipe organ (donated by Peter Doecke who was the organist) and a choir of six! Most of the congregation were Peter Doecke's relatives, and pastors came from neighbouring areas to preach there. They remained on good terms with Pastor Schondorf (he was often a guest preacher) and there was a lot of inter-marrying between the Wends and the Moravians. Both practised infant baptism. In 1906 Peter Doecke died and as numbers at Steinthal had declined the Wendish group asked to be amalgamated with the Moravian Church which amalgamated with the Lutheran Church at that time.
