Utah is Mormon land and before the Mormons, it was Indian land. For the most part, Mormons and Indians had a good relationship. As more and more emigrants traveled west Indian relations were tested. In one such case Americans were told by the Mormons that the Indians were friendly but when scared, they shot and killed a prominent member of their tribe. Which led to a revenge plot... And that brings us to the Gunnison Massacre and in this video I will tell you how it all went down.

When Boy Scouts of America was nearing a milestone, they decided to run a campaign to commemorate the occasion. Making a bunch of miniature Statues of Liberty and placing them all over the country. One in particular is in Seattle, and a family joke is that my grandma thought that was the real statue of liberty. Good Job Boy Scouts.

In this episode I cover an old rural Chinatown, Pirates in Delaware, oyster pirates in Maryland, a Viking statue in North Dakota, a cool naval battle from the war of 1812 over in Ohio, how Native Americans came to the modern day USA while covering some history on a particular tribe in Oregon and I also touch on Juneteenth which began in Texas.

In this episode I share with you a story of a beheading on Whidbey Island in WA, The story of Coit Tower in San Fran, CA. How Jackson became the Capital of Mississippi and even why we call coffee "a cup of joe"   

Unfortunately I had some technical difficulties on 2 stories, Midwest which was Perry's victory in Ohio during the war of 1812 and the north story which was the tales of pirates in Delaware. I will get those in next month.
