Andrew Jackson was a complex person. While many aspects of his career were laudatory, his actions against Native Americans were far from noble. His decimation of the Creek Nation made him a hero in the American frontier, and his turning of a blind eye to the plight of the Cherokee Nation, including ignoring a Supreme Court order, led directly to the Trail of Tears, in which nearly 1/4 of the 15,000 people forced to march from their homeland died along the way. ---

The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail was established in 1987, to commemorate the forced removal of the Cherokee and other people, from their homes in the southeastern United States, to the Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. The trail covers several different routes in nine different U.S. states, and encompasses approximately 2,200 miles of land and water routes. ---

_Oklahoma!_ is the first musical written by the duo of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It opened on March 31, 1943, and was a box office hit that ran for an unprecedented 2,212 performances, later enjoying award-winning revivals, national tours, foreign productions and an Oscar-winning 1955 film adaptation. It has long been a popular choice for school and community productions. The musical tells the story of farm girl Laurey Williams and her courtship by two rival suitors, cowboy Curly McLain and the sinister and frightening farmhand Jud Fry. A secondary romance concerns cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancée, Ado Annie. ---

The theater-writing team of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II is perhaps the greatest theater writing partnership in history. They wrote nine Broadway musicals, five of which were huge successes, and none of the other four was considered a flop. They also wrote a musical for television broadcast, and yet another for film. Their shows (and subsequent film versions) garnered thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes, and two Grammy Awards. Hammerstein died in 1960, and Rodgers died in 1979. ---

The city of Leslie, MI, was incorporated as a village in 1869, and as a city nearly 100 years later in 1968, after being settled by Elijah Woodworth in 1836. Originally named Meekerville, the name Leslie was adopted officially when a post office was assigned to the area in 1841. Notable persons of the area include: - Voltairine de Cleyre, anarchist, writer, and feminist; born in Leslie - Holling Clancy Holling, children’s author and illustrator of _Paddle to the Sea_ and _Pagoo_; graduated from Leslie High School in 1917 - Arthur J.

By law, all of Yellowstone National Park is in the Wyoming District of the Federal Court system. Even the Idaho and Montana sections. Because of the lack of population in the Idaho section, it is called the “Zone of Death” because it would be impossible to follow the 6th Amendment to get a jury from the District and State where the crime occurred and by law, all crimes there are Federal so the prosecutors would have to abide by this Vicinage Clause. ---

Yogi Bear is an animated cartoon character, created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1958 as a supporting character on _The Huckleberry Hound Show_, before being spun off into his own show in 1961.

IN 1969, a Wisconsin entrepreneur got the idea for a chain of campgrounds. He hit upon the name of “Jellystone Park” after overhearing his children watching a Yogi Bear cartoon. Completing a licensing agreement with Screen Gems (who, as the syndicator, owned the rights to the cartoons), he constructed the first park on about 70 acres of land outside Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Today, there are almost 80 parks, most of which are in the eastern and central US, still 'bear’ing the Yellowstone Park name and utilizing the familiar characters of Yogi, Boo-Boo, Ranger Smith, and Cindy Bear. And yes, the Sturgeon Bay location is still among them. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

The name Yogi Bear was a play on Yogi Berra, the famous Yankees baseball catcher. He was also famous for his malapropisms and his distinctive voice which was imitated by the cartoon voice-over. Real-life Berra was also present on D-Day, where he was a Navy machine gunner. He received a Purple Heart and several other ribbons. ---

> [@Bicycle\_Bill](#): > > still 'bear’ing the Yellowstone Park name Assumedly you mean the **Jellystone Park** name? In play: While Yogi Berra is perhaps best known for his malapropisms, he was, first and foremost, a stellar major league catcher. He first made his major league appearance in 1946 and played until 1965. He was named to 15 all-star teams and won the MVP award 3 times. Additionally, he played in 14 world series, all with the Yankees, in which he had 12 home runs and 39 runs batted in. ---

The word “Yankee” has been attributed to settlers in the New England region of the US. The origins are ambiguous, with no clear source of where the name came from, and was first used by British General James Wolfe in 1758 to describe New England soldiers under his command. Later it was used as a slur by Brits towards the Colonists, and likewise by Southern soldiers during the Civil War. Yankees have come to embrace the word with pride, creating terms like “Yankee Ingenuity” and “Damn Yankees.” ---
