And it was a tremendous book.The book was much better than a movie, but tremendous book. 1984. Maryland gets a miracle in Miami.That's in sports, so evidently they upset Miami, Maryland Tarpons.
Let's see, 2001, George W. Bush addresses the United Nations regarding terrorism. 1808, Osage tribe seized Missouri and Arkansas lands.1971, copies of Slaughterhouse-Five reported burned in North Dakota. censorship at its finest.

Let's see, let's look at Maryland gets America, Miami, that'll be a quick, quick one here.Says November 10th, 1984, the University of Maryland's backup quarterback,
Frank Reich, I believe he played backup quarterback for Cleveland Browns, if I'm not mistaken, after college, throws six touchdown passes against the University of Miami in the second half of the game, completing an improbable comeback.
The Terrapins, who had been losing 31 to nothing at half, ended up winning the game 42 to 40.In the first half, everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.
One of Reich's teammates said, in the second half, everything that could possibly go right went right. That's interesting.I don't remember that one, but that's a heck of a comeback.
And throwing six TDs, passes, not just in the game, but just the second half of the game.Pretty incredible.Let's see what else we got here. Let's look at the Assage or Asagne or whatever tribe, how we talked them into giving away their land.
In a decision that would eventually make them one of the wealthiest surviving Native American nations, the Osage or Assaji tribe agrees to abandon their lands in Missouri and Arkansas in exchange for a reservation in Oklahoma.
Oh man, they probably got oil on their reservation.The Assaji were the largest tribe of the Southern Sioux people occupying what would later become the state of Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
When the first Anglo explorer settlers moved into this region, they would encounter the sophisticated society of American Indians who lived in more or less permanent village made of sturdy earthen and log lodges.
The Asajj like to relate it, Quapaw, Ponca, and Omaha, and Kansa people hunted buffalo and wild game like the Plains Indian, but they also raised crops to supplement their diet.And let's see, I don't have time to read all this.
Let me skim over this here. Oh yeah, okay.
It says here that the proven unusually successful in adapting to the demands of the living in a world dominated by Anglo-Americans sank to the part of the fortunate presence of a large reserve of oil and gas on their Oklahoma reservation.
in concert with their effective management of grazing contracts to Anglos.The Assajumas, enormous wealth during the 20th century from their oil and gas deposit, eventually becoming the wealthiest tribe in Northern America.Very interesting.
Okay, we're approaching eight minutes.Interesting day, I mean it's, Some days are just more interesting than others.November 10th was one of the real good, interesting days.So let's go out and National Anthem.Thanks for listening.God bless you.
