Excerpt:

"Geronimo was one of the last Native Americans to lead warriors in the fight against Mexican and American expansion into Apache lands. In 1886, he surrendered to the U.S. military on the understanding that he would be allowed to return to his homeland and tribe.

However, Geronimo was held for more than 20 years as a free-range prisoner of war in Fort Sill until his death from tuberculosis in 1909, at the age of 90"

Kanawha Falls + New River

"New River is formed by the union of its north and south forks in Watauga County, North Carolina (NC). From this junction, the New flows northeastward across the state line into Virginia, and at Radford, VA, turns abruptly northwestward across western Virginia and West Virginia to its junction with Gauley River, in Fayette County, just above Kanawha Falls, in Kanawha County. Below the junction with the Gauley, the river is known as Kanawha River."

The Kanawha Trace

By Neil Elvick

Excerpt:

"The Kanawha Trace enters what is now West Virginia near the town of Peterstown, about twenty-five miles west of Blacksburg, Virginia. It largely follows alongside the course of the New River, but at times it will go overland in places where the river makes a wide loop. From Peterstown to where the trail comes to the Falls of New River (where the Kanawha River Dam is now located) was eighty-one miles of rugged trail. At this point the river becomes navigable and some settlers would build flatboats to float down to Gallipolis. Others would continue on the trail alongside the river for the remaining eighty-two miles to the Ohio River. After crossing the Ohio, the overland trail continued to Rio Grande, Jackson, Chillicothe and on to Indiana."

Racism and Blood Type

Now this is just amazing, I think this is just awful.

"It's simply sham science," he said. "The idea encourages people to judge others by the blood types, without trying to understand them as human beings. It's like racism."
