"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by Ambrose Bierce originally written in 1886.\n\n\nPLOT\n"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is the story of Peyton Farquhar, a man sentenced to death by hanging at the Owl Creek Bridge of the title.\n\nWhen he is hanged the rope breaks and the main character falls into the water, from which he begins a journey back to his home. During his journey, he starts to feel some strange physiological events that ultimately end with a searing pain in his neck. It turns out that the man never escaped; he imagined the entire thing during the time between being pushed off the bridge and the noose finally breaking his neck.

The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was an event of legendary proportion which has been portrayed in numerous Western films. The actual event occurred on Wednesday afternoon, October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot, known as lot 2, in block 17, behind the corral, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory (a corral is like a livery stable; the analogous location in Denver was called the Elephant Corral). Some of the fight also occurred in Fremont Street in front of the vacant lot. Some thirty shots were fired in thirty seconds.\n\nThe conflicts leading to the gunfight remain complex: the two sides (in both cases related by strong family ties) were in opposition due to politics, business concerns, and other ideological factors. The Earps were viewed by their enemies as badge-toting pimps who ruthlessly enforced the business interests of the town; the McLaurys, Clantons and their Cowboy crowd were viewed by their enemies as cattle rustlers, thieves, and murderers.\n\nHere is a site with information:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfight_at_the_O.K._Corral\n\nhttp://www.tombstone.org/history/index.html\n\nAdditional cool information..

It happened in Cincinnati.\n\nT.I. is okay, but one person who was traveling with him died and three others were injured.  They got shot at while driving up I-75 (the main interstate in town) by some thugs who followed them from a nightclub in the city.

McGee creek or Convict lake \n\nI lived there in 1972. Hot creek is hotter now and more dangerous. Or you can hike down to the Owens river, but watch out for rattlers! There's a boat load of them critters!

I think there was more to the high-jacking than we have been told. Why I do not know...There has been a lot of talk about the way the twin towers fell. \nThank you for sending this I have enjoyed.

You can go to local library and check newspaper archives for any mention of the street address.  Of course, it would be easier if you had an idea of the time that the incident occured.  \n\nIf you don't know, you could ask at a local community board or neighborhood association if anyone remembers the incident or has more information on local resources to do such research.

Does the building have a name?  Google it.  Do you know the date of the fire?  Perhaps look it up in archives at the library or online.

If you mean the Noah flood, there is some evidence for a great flood of water empting into the Mediteranian and close enough for it to be historical to the people writing the Bible. The outlet from the Black Sea(?) was blocked and suddenly opened flooding the town below.\nthere is a great flood plain where water froze formed a lake for many years and then broke loose spilling into Western Idaho and Eastern Washington St. Oregon. It looks like a barren lake bed today. The deposits indicate this happened many many times.

Twenty-five years ago, one of the deadliest floods in U.S. history occurred in southern West Virginia's Buffalo Creek hollow. Negligent strip mining and heavy rain produced a raging flood. In a matter of minutes, 118 were dead and over 4,000 people were left homeless. Seven were never found.

I was at work, watching the Today show with Matt Lauer and Katie Couric.....I was stunned when I saw what happened.  It was chaotic, our office shut down and we were told to go home.  The courts closed and everyone went home in a frenzy and this was in Miami.

I hope this Help you a little ..The Old State Road (Route 29)\nin Oppenheim\n\n \n\nHector Allen, Town Historian of Oppenheim wrote the following piece;  Dated 1/31/87.\nWith his knowledge, this article has been transrcibed and posted.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe bulk of this material is taken from an article done about 1903 by Robert L. Jeffers.  In his heading, he states that these are "facts gathered from Personal Observations by the Author, from Research and from Interviews with Aged People Who Remembered Many Incidents of their Youth." \n\nWhen I received this article from Mr. Lewis Decker, currently the Fulton County Historian, I went across the "Old State Road" to Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Brown’s residence and talked to them about it.  The anecdotes I got from them are in parenthesis.\n\nThe original article starts in Salisbury and goes East through Oppenheim, Lassellsville, "Grab-all" or Garoga, Johnstown and to Tribes Hill.  I only have copied the parts pertinent to Oppenheim.\n\nThe Old State Road passed eastward through Salisbury Center, Herkimer County, and continuing its course about four miles crossed the East Canada Creek at Brockett’s Bridge, now Dolgeville, and entered what is now the county of Fulton. . . . .\n\nMr. Kibbie kept and owned the Manheim Hotel at Brockett’s Bridge about 60 years ago. The Hamlet derived its name from families of Brocketts who resided in that locality, some of whom were prominent politicians. One of the Brocketts was named as a Presidential Elector by one of the great political parties many years ago. . . . . . Some sixty years ago Mr. Kibbie, keeper of the Manheim Hotel, was about 40 years of age. He was quite a heavy built man and but little given to talking. He had a wife and children and died many years ago. The hotel was quite a large two-story building, with a basement and painted white. It stood on the west side of East Canada Creek in what is now the village of Dolgeville. It has passed through successive hands, been remodeled, but is still used as a hotel. The writer has taken his rations and slept the sleep of the just beneath the roof of that ancient hostelry.\n\nZephi Brockett kept the Brockett House just on the East side of the creek at Brockett’s Bridge about seventy years ago. He was a very cheerful, pleasant man and a very popular landlord. He was about 40 years of age, and kept the hotel for many years. He was a Whig in politics and a Methodist in religion. He never drank himself, nor would he sell liquor to a person who was intoxicated. He was mammoth in size, as was his wife. They were compelled to occupy separate seats when riding in a buggy or cutter. He had an extensive trade and accumulated lots of money. He had several children and died of dropsy and old age about 35 years ago. At his death he left seven or eight farms and other property to his descendants. Two of his sons are still living who reside in that locality. One of his sons sold Shaker’s Seeds on the road for many years. The Brockett House was a white, two-story wooden building with a long wing. It has ceased to be a hotel, but is still standing and occupied. The barn buildings were also very extensive. The property is said to be still in the hands of the Brocketts.\n\nRobert Higbie ran a hotel on the Old State Road, about five miles East from the Brockett House, some fifty years ago. He was then a tall, heavy built man, about forty-five years of age and slightly gray. He was quite a talker, a Democrat in politics and a Universalist in religion. He was one of the proprietors of the state route running from Albany to Watertown. He had a wife and several children. His youngest daughter married Jacob Stewart of Johnstown. Robert Higbie, who was quite a money-lender, later removed to Little Falls, where he died some twenty-five or thirty years ago. One of his sons passed through college and later became a la
