The Preamble to Pennoyer
The following is a brief summary of the cast of characters present in the events surrounding Pennoyer v. Neff. For a more thorough introduction (which is worth reading for entertainment value), see Wendy C. Perdue, Sin, Scandal, and Substantive Due Process: Personal Jurisdiction and Pennoyer Reconsidered, 62 Wash. L. Rev. 479 (1987), from which this summary is adapted. Professor Perdue's paper can be found here, and the relevant section begins on page 481 (at "Our story begins") and ends on page 490 (with "Mitchell's funeral expenses").
