What is recorded here
James Clarke is a birthplace in County Mayo, Ireland. Perhaps the boy pulled ropes until his palms bled before he ever touched a pen. Maybe the tug of war taught him that strength is shared, not solitary. Imagine him still standing at the rope's end, waiting for others to join the line.
Why this person is known: British tug of war competitor (1874-1929)
