    Cody was a very famous man even before his show. It was because of his fame he decided to make a go of show business. It started with plays where he would play himself (and some say he was a very good actor as well) and eventually evolved into the wild west show that he ran for many years touring both north america and europe (Sitting Bull was with him on his europeon tour).

    The strange thing to me about this is the lack of coverage you see in the media.

    Well it seems you have a number of poor African Americans Standing in line for what looks to be food. I would say that photographer was in the right place at the right time.

    I wish I could remember who it was but I was listening to the radio last night and they mentioned that the warming trend was solar system wide. Skiguy's post reminded me of the comment.

    Notice how street gangs (e.g. Bloods and Crips) also use organization, intimidation, and illegal acts in the course of their activities.  The missing element?  Motive & intent.

    You dont think organized street gangs have motive and intent?

    It seems to me what it all boils down to is not what you did, but why you did it.

    WHEN SHERMAN MARCHED DOWN TO THE SEAOur camp-fires shone bright on the mountains  That frowned on the river below,While we stood by our guns in the morning,  And eagerly watched for the foe;When a rider came out of the darkness  That hung over mountain and tree,And shouted: “Boys, up and be ready!  For Sherman will march to the sea!”Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman  Went up from each valley and glen,And the bugles re-echoed the music  That came from the lips of the men;For we knew that the stars in our banner  More bright in their splendor would be,And that blessings from Northland would greet us  While Sherman marched down to the sea.Then forward, boys! forward to battle!    We marched on our perilous way,And we stormed the wild hills of Resaca–  God bless those who fell on that day!Then Kennesaw, dark in its glory,  Frowned down  on the flag of the free,But the East and the West bore our standards  When Sherman marched down to the sea.Still onward we pressed till our banners  Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls,And the blood of the patriot dampened  The soil where the traitor flag falls.We paused not to weep for the fallen,  Who sleep by each river and tree,But we twined them a wreath of the laurel,  And Sherman marched on to the sea.Oh, proud was our army that morning,  That stood where the pine darkly towers,When Sherman said, “Boys, you are weary,  But to-day fair Savannah is ours.”Then sang we a song for our chieftain,  That echoed o'er river and lea,And the stars in our banner shone brighter  When Sherman marched down to the sea.

    Well if your family had participated in the war (and especially if someone died during the war) Then one might say it was the civil war.
