Coachman George Stevenson
Coachman George Stevenson "The Yorkshire Coachman" HW boxer 4 England
1735-1741 Fought Taylor and Broughton circa 1737 and 1739. I assume he would not have fought the two best in England without earlier proving himself so I gave him an earlier career start of 1735. Legend has him besting 3 highwaymen in the '30s. His death led to Broughton's Rules 1738-03-31 L Jack Broughton 100 pounds 1739-02-10 L 11 minutes George Taylor (Peachtree 2nd for Stevenson, Boswell 2nd for Taylor) bear

Coachman Stevenson, according to legend, overcame three armed Yorkshire highwaymen with his fists when they attempted to rob him. This character is a generic representation of them intended to function as a TC with arbitrary career beginning in 1735 bear

Many more, still to come. Would have likely been done had I not had that snafu Saturday with the file that got corrupted and kept freezing up my game. The mass group edit function saved me, though, since I was able to remove one of the groups from the files I needed to save and then delete the group left holding the corrupt file. Thought I had a recurrence of the old Felix Savon type of bug but was able to come up with a work around. Only lost a few hours. Otherwise I'd be rebuilding a major portion of my database.

One of the reasons why the Bear Garden uni has been moving along at a snail's pace was the need to create all of these guys.
