I don't think people hunt on burial grounds...\n\ndid you mean haunted? if that was the case I don't know. I think graveyards are more know for being haunted than Native burial grounds.

Be skeptical. Type John T. Blair into your browser. If there's any such historical figure noted on line, you'll find out something. Also go to your library, and ask if there's a book on him. If there is one, read it at your own pace. But if someone ever claims to be related to John Holiday, they'd be lying for sure, because he didn't have children. Plus the fact that everyone who knows about Holiday, knows that he was known as Doc Holiday. Anyway, back to your question. I'll have to check the book on Doc Holiday to be sure, but I think he might've used the name John T. Blair, once. Or maybe he killed him. Any idea, when in the 1800s Blair allegdely existed as a law man? What territory or town? Nearly every town, territory and  state had US Marshalls back then. Although some US Marshalls were actually deputy US Marshalls.

In 1915, John Talap, a convicted murderer from Montgomery County, was the first person executed in the chair. On April 2, 1962, Elmo Lee Smith, another convicted murderer from Montgomery County, was the last of 350 people, including two women, to die in the Pennsylvania electric chair. \n\nExecutions in Pennsylvania were carried out by hanging from the time the first colonists arrived in the late 1600s. In 1834, Pennsylvania became the first state in the union to abolish public hangings; and, for the next eight decades, each county was responsible for carrying out its own "private hangings" within the walls of its county jail. The responsibility for executing capital cases passed to the state in 1913 when the electric chair took the place of the gallows. \n\nThe location of the chair selected by the state legislature was the new Western Penitentiary in Centre County, now known as the State Correctional Institution at Rockview. Although capital punishment by electrocution was authorized by legislation in 1913, neither the chair nor the institution were ready for occupancy until 1915. \n\nFrom 1915 until 1962, there were a total of 350 persons executed in the chair, two of whom were women. The last person to be so executed was Elmo Smith, a Montgomery County case tried on a change of venue in Gettysburg, Adams County. Smith was executed on April 2, 1962, for the rape/slaying of a seventeen-year old girl. Coincidentally, the first person executed in the chair

There are a number of references to gold being found in "western Kansas" in the area of Cherry Creek. These appear to refer to the Kansas Territory, and Cherry Creek is now Colorado, near Denver. Rumors in 1896 said that gold was found in Hollenberg. \n\nHowever, gold is where you find it. There have been diamonds found in Indiana, carried there by glaciers, so there might be some gold in Kansas that has been carried there by some ancient river. It is unlikely. Good luck and have fun.

ask the cemetary who performed the service where the body was sent for burial after it left their care. they should absolutely know where it went - in the US it's the law.\n   also, if you have trouble there, check the legal burial records with the county the service/burial was in as they will have records where the body was sent.

I heard that some executioners were, themselves, convicted criminals. They were allowed to remain alive as long as they executed other convicted criminals. I think the executioners that I heard this about were actually hangmen in the American West 1700-1900.

This sound's like a trick question...you know who is buried in Pearl Buck's tomb?\n\nOk...Sam Houston was not born in Houston he was born in Lexington, Virginia.\n\nQuestion for you: This answer was found in about 10 seconds, obviously you have internet access, why don't you do your own research?

When I travel to a new place I like to check out the historical areas, sometimes including old cemeteries. Once my husband and I, while visiting in Savannah, GA, got locked in an old military cemetery. Spooky!

Today is the 129 anniversary of what us whites call Custer's Last Stand or the Little Big Horn. The Lakota, Ogalla, And Cheyenne call Gressy Grass. There are several reasons that this is important and I will get into it later.\n\nFirst of all the Rank at the time of Gressy Grass was Lt. Colonel, but due to his brevetted Rank in the Civil War was Major General. So if a person were to address him it would be General. It is the same as we refer to President Reagan after he left office, becaue he earned the title. The only way he would have lost the right to be called General is if he was demoted due to an infraction of military law. At the time he was posted here at Fort Lincoln Southwest of Bismarck, Dakota Territory was the need for generals was not as great.\n\nDuring the Civil War he was considered the North premiere Calvary General were he perfected dividing his force and strategy that generations of historians would pan him for the last four decades.\n\nFirst off, General Custer was arrogant, or maybe just overconfident. Although is it really arrogance when you can do what you think you can.\nIf he were as bad a character that the modern day historian claim he was.\n(There is a theory that Reno and Benteen set him up to fail.)\n\nHis orders were vague, he and the seventh Calvary was supposed to meet up with General Terry sometime. He was offered gattlin guns. Some historians think that this might have saved him. There are three problems with this the terrain is incredibly hilly with a lot of coolies making it hard to get them set up. A gattlin gun weighed over a ton and would slow down a Calvary unit (the Calvary Unit of the 19th century were considered to be akin to our special forces today. The Calvary units were quick attack units. Third, black powder had a tendency to jam regularly. I wouldn't have wanted them.\n\nI think that he found the village to soon. The rule of thumb if you could see an indian They KNEW you were there. I will grant you that he didn't listen to his scouts, but the number of warriors in the village I don't think anyone would have comprehended. There is a possibility that he was going to fight a holding action. Trying to hold out tell the three columns of Sheridan and the other Generals. Sheridan and the other two Generals were held up they weren't where they were late because they encountered other Nations on the way.\n\nThe morning of the battle Custer divided his command of about 100 troopers into three commands under Reno and Benteen. (Later in Reno's military career his was court martialed for assaulting his commanding officers daughter). This was so they could surround the village. The last order out from Custer was for Benteen to "bring packs big village." He didn't. Reno was surrounded for a time but when one of his sergeants brains were blown out Reno took off running.\n\nHere is the victor's perspective. Months before the Battle Sitting Bull had a vision of soldiers falling into the village. The interesting part of the vision for me was the warning not to take anything from the soldiers or they would loose the war. His warning was headed. (Kinda harkens back to Joshua and the fall of Jericho when he warned them not to take anything, but Achan did and they lost the next battle Joshua 6-7 Makes me ponder what would have happened if the Nations would have heeded the warning).\n\nCrazy Horse was a very formidable General. The terrain really lent a hand to the way the Lakota, Ogalla, and Cheyenne fought. It gave the warriors a lot of cover. The yellow boy Winchester 10 round magazine repeating rifle for close quarter fighting is very formidable against a single shot Spencer carbine. Not including recurve bows. The warriors were trained from an early age to fight one-on-one. The stiff formations of the Calvary didn't work well because the Warrior fought outside of the box.\n\nThe importance of this can still be seen today. 1893 the massacre at Wounde
