, ranger at Petersburg National battlefield, where we first met as park rangers many, many years ago. He is worked in manassas, vicksburg, and gettysburg. He will tackle the elephant in the room about gettysburg versus vicksburg, which one of these two battles he considers being a native mississippian and having worked at both parks, which he considers to be the biggest turning point. Gettysburg or vicksburg . I will let matt get up here and explain. Matt atkinson. [applause] matt thats what it is. I understand you all had a row last night about something. Right there, right . The most important battle, a top the top 10 battles in the american civil war, and gettysburg was left off. Can you believe that . I want to tell you a quick story. I was invited down to a richmond roundtable. We were at the willow oaks country club. We had virginia ham. That is the only time they go out there. Anyway, i was having a great time. I was in richmond and the man who did the top 10 last night lives th
Historic places. Exploring our nations past every weekend on cspan3. Approximately 4000 seminole indians who live in florida today are descendents of a band that Never Surrendered to the u. S. Military during three wars between 1817 and 1858. Over the course of those years, the majority of seminoles were forced to move west of the Mississippi River to what is now oklahoma. Next on american artifacts, a visit to the seminole nation of museum in wewoka, oklahoma, to learn the story of the western tribe. Lewis hello.

It has been a static centerpiece. So, one of my first goals for the museum was to figure out how we could bring some new life back into the museum, to get these antique, historic airplanes into the air, where they belong. Along came the 75th anniversary of the dday invasion. What a unique opportunity to join in a major part of history that these airplanes were built for and to partake in the 75th anniversary of the dday invasion. Our museum is known as the museum of mountain flying. It is dedicated to the Pioneering Spirit of a gentleman named bob johnson, who helped develop aerial firefighting programs here. I knew, to start a project like this, we have had this historic c47 airplane here for 18 years, and it has become kind of a gathering for the retired smoke jumpers.

To say that another life form has become intelligent enough to do space travel and visit another planet is not a Conspiracy Theory. Felix harcourt that seems fair.

It seems a little odd to indict the entire planet of wherever for wanting to come to visit. Even if we are arguably m
