YANKS ON THE RUN! #1 Battle of Stone's River - Ultimate General: Civil War (Historical Battle - CSA)
Historically a Union victory, I take on the role of Confederate Commander Braxton Bragg as I attempt to rout the Federals at Stone's River, Tennessee. Fought Dec. 31, 1862 - Jan. 2, 1863 it was up until that point the bloodiest battle of the war. In terms of casualties as a percentage of men engaged, it remained so to the end.

Andrew Jackson's wallpaper at The Home of President Andrew Jackson
Jim Sharp shows you a behind the scenes look in the mansion of the 7th president: Andrew Jackson.
Script:
I am Jim Sharp. Worked at The Hermitage now for eight years as an interpreter of
Jacksonian history. There are several items
in this house that you see that
are behind the scenes items you do not hear a lot about
At this point I'd like to tell you about
one that interest me the most
that would be outside of Jackson's library
down on the first floor
in that hallway there's a closet under
the steps that had just bolted material
for making
dresses and shirts and things that was
there in jackson's time
right across from it is a closet that
the ladies placed in there in
after Jackson die
they mention they'll wanted to a place
where they can hang their
coats when it come out and have their
business meetings in Jackson's library
now sometime in the late 70's early 80's
they had some
interns from college studying the ladies
minutes at their meetings
and they ran across this note in there
where the lady said
they wanted to add that closet a
place where they could
hang their coats and they had to be careful
not to destroy the original wallpaper
So that is the interesting part; you go in,
open that door
which the general public doesn't get to see,
look in that closet, it has our winter
coats in it now
but right there in the back of that wall
as the original wallpaper. A big chunk of
it is taking out that they
took out and sent off to have that paper reproduce
and the reproductions on
the halls downstairs
today that's a little behind the scenes
thing
of the wallpaper in the hall way

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The Daniel Boone National Forest (originally the Cumberland National Forest) is a national forest in Kentucky. Established in 1937, it includes 708,000 acres (287,000 ha) of federally owned land within a 2,100,000 acres (850,000 ha) proclamation bounty. The name of the forest was changed in 1966 in honor of the explorer Daniel Boone.
The terrain of the forest is generally rugged, and includes multiple prominent water features. It is home to a range of plant and animal species, although many areas still bear evidence of industrial logging and other practices which took place mostly prior to federal protection. It is a popular recreational and tourist destination which serves a million or more visitors a year, and contains several widely recognized areas which are protected in their own right, including state parks, trails, wilderness areas, and landmarks.

SUMMARY
=======
Richmond () is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Greater Richmond Region. Richmond was incorporated in 1742 and has been an independent city since 1871.
As of the 2010 census, the city's population was 204,214; in 2016, the population was estimated to be 223,170, making Richmond the fourth-most populous city in Virginia. The Richmond Metropolitan Area has a population of 1,260,029, the third-most populous metro in the state.
Richmond is located at the fall line of the James River, 44 miles (71 km) west of Williamsburg, 66 miles (106 km) east of Charlottesville, 100 miles (160 km) east of Lynchburg and 98 miles (158 km) south of Washington, D.C. Surrounded by Henrico and Chesterfield counties, the city is located at the intersections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 64, and encircled by Interstate 295 and Virginia State Route 288. Major suburbs include Midlothian to the southwest, Chesterfield to the south, Varina to the southeast, Sandston to the east, Glen Allen to the north and west, Short Pump to the west and Mechanicsville to the northeast.
The site of Richmond had been an important village of the Powhatan Confederacy, and was briefly settled by English colonists from Jamestown in 1609, and in 1610–1611. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780, replacing Williamsburg. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's Give me liberty or give me death speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom written by Thomas Jefferson. During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the second and permanent capital of the Confederate States of America. The city entered the 20th century with one of the world's first successful electric streetcar systems. The Jackson Ward neighborhood is a national hub of African-American commerce and culture.
Richmond's economy is primarily driven by law, finance, and government, with federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as notable legal and banking firms, located in the downtown area. The city is home to both the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, one of 13 United States courts of appeals, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, one of 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Dominion Energy and WestRock, Fortune 500 companies, are headquartered in the city, with others in the metropolitan area.
