"Baron Redesdale, a British peer with Nazi sympathies and his two daughters frequently came to this little settlement where he had mine holdings, to live for a few months or two. On other occasions they were house guest of Herr Hitler in Germany. It was one of these two daughters who wore the necklace. She was said to have been one of Hitler's mistresses, but of this there is no positive proof. However, when Hitler spoke to Lord Redesdale about an emblem for his new party, Redesdale showed him the swastika. A year later it was in full circulation as the trademark of the Nazi party. Patriotic suggestions during World War II were made to change the name from Swastika to Winston, but as the legend on the cover of the match boxes sold by Doc Edis at his drug store stated, most of them said "Hitler Be Damned" so Swastika was and still is the name of the Gateway to Kirkland Lake. This is a true story as the records prove."
