Paul Craig is looking for the guys who were chasing the guys who were stealing the horses.

The beginning of the 20th century was a turbulent time in the history of the United States.

Many events, including the Great Depression and two world wars, transformed the nation.

Every American takes away a little part of that time and makes it their own, and Morris Hart is no exception.

The retired funeral director collects an array of products from that era, from glassware and pottery to what he calls "shoe knives."

Call it a case of delayed gratification.

Very delayed.

Seven years delayed, actually.

The reward for all that waiting was, for five area men, a few seconds of face time on screen, their voices providing a backdrop for a somber movie scene - and their names in the credits.

"And then it says, ‘Campfire Singers,'" says Huntington resident Rick Henly, one of the five, as he watches the credits for "DogJack" roll nearly to the end.

"And there we are."

And it's not hard to see why, as the park had fallen into a state of disrepair after many years of neglect.

Since being appointed park liaison in 2009, Wright has done everything she can to change the park's reputation.
