Tukabatchee
Tukabatchee or Tuckabutche) (Creek: Tokepahce [1]) is one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee Creek confederacy[2] The pre-removal tribal town was located on the Tallapoosa River in the present-day state of Alabama. The town is believed to be the first site of the ancient busk fire which began the Green Corn Ceremony. Tukabatchee was the home of Big Warrior, one of the two principal chiefs of the Creeks until his death in 1826. Chief Opothleyahola was born here in 1780.[3] In 1811 Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa (better known as the Prophet) addressed Creek leaders in the Tukabatchee town square. Tecumseh was so disappointed in Big Warrior's response at the end of his speech against American expansion that he said upon reaching Chalagawtha the Prophet would "...stamp his foot and all of Tuckabatchee's cabins would fall." During the Creek War in 1813, Red Stick rebels surrounded the town.
Sépultures de guerre - Ministère de la Défense
Les fichiers des sépultures de guerre ont été constitués au moment de la création des nécropoles nationales à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale. Ils comportent environ 700 000 fiches cartonnées rédigées à la main, dont la saisie informatique a débuté en 1997 et se poursuit à l'heure actuelle. Les fiches originales sont souvent incomplètement remplies et comportent des erreurs, notamment dans l'orthographe des noms et la numérotation des tombes. Compte tenu du nombre de sépultures, il est difficile de procéder à des vérifications systématiques.

Old Cherokee Path
From FamilySearch Wiki United States Migration Trails and Roads Old Cherokee Path The Old Cherokee Path connected the Lower Cherokee Indian villages, in particular Tugaloo just southwest of the Savannah River in what is now Georgia (but also villages in South Carolina), with several Indian trails, especially the Great Indian Warpath or Great Valley Road as it was called in Virginia. Historical Background Scots-Irish (that is Ulster-Irish), and German farmers migrating along the Great Valley Road (sometimes called the Great Wagon Road) through Virginia began settling the counties near the north end of the Old Cherokee Path in the 1750s. From the first contact with Europeans the Cherokee Indians had settlements called the Lower Cherokee Villages in the northwest part of South Carolina and part of Georgia. As roads developed in America settlers were attracted to nearby communities because the roads provided access to markets. Route Connecting trails. Modern parallels. Settlers and Records Sources

An Essay by Einstein -- The World As I See It
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. "My political ideal is democracy.
Battle of Shepherd's Plantation - Stewart County, Georgia
A weathered monument on Highway 39 just north of Florence Marina State park is a quiet reminder of one of the bloodiest battles of the Creek War of 1836. The Battle of Shepherd's Plantation was fought on June 9, 1836, between a force of Georgia militia and an attacking party of Creek warriors. The battle was a pivotal fight in the a war of resistance launched by Yuchi, Hitchiti and other warriors trying to prevent the forced removal of their people from their traditional lands. The war began with a series of attacks on white settlements in the spring of 1836 and accelerated as warriors skirmished with militia soldiers at several points. On June 9th, however, the Creeks launched their boldest attack of the war at Shepherd's Plantation. An active farm before the war, the plantation became an important military encampment as Georgia militia troops moved south from Columbus in anticipation of an offensive against the Creeks.

The mysterious remains of one of the world's first organized religions
Creationists are anti-science. There is no truth to this charge. The fact of the matter is, creationists recognize that science deals with present phenomena; this discipline is, by the very nature of its methodology, incapable of determining events/ processes that transpired thousands of years ago. Paul Weiss expressed it like this: "All science begins with observation, the first step of the scientific method. At once this delimits the scientific domain; something that cannot be observed cannot be investigated by science" (1965, p. 40). It is a scientific fact that water freezes at 32°F. Perhaps the appearance of life on the earth is a miracle. The first theory places the question of the origin of life beyond the reach of scientific inquiry. The second theory is also an act of faith. Creationists do not reject genuine (proven) facts of science.
