Cowboys, Tombstone and Wyatt Earp were destined to collide and by the spring of 1881, it was apparent they were already on that collision course. The most famous gunfight showdown in history featured thirty shots fired in thirty seconds that left three cowboys dead along with Virgil and Morgan Earp wounded.

Awakenings: America: Enchanting, Beautiful and Free
See on Scoop.it – America
The premise behind Awakenings is to reopen the eyes of Americans to the awareness of those who laid the foundation and established the platform for America’s freedom. It began over 400 years ago with the most significant landing in our nation’s founding: Jamestown, Virginia, 1607. This significant point in time did not occur without sacrifice: lives of individuals, entire families and loved ones. And, sacrifices are still being made today to maintain that which was established centuries ago.
Happy Columbus Day
What if Columbus had not made the decision to venture across the high seas? That was certainly not a walk in the park, a stoll along the beach or a Sunday drive! Throughout the many, many decades of celebration, have you ever thought about the voyage itself? Sure, we celebrate the discovery of America but what did it take for this to truly become a day of celebration? What were some of the conditions and hardships endured while crossing treacherous waters in hopes of one day citing land? The key word here is HOPE with a willingness to TRY and find new land!
Visit Awakenings for some history surrounding Christopher Columbus and Echoes of the Sea. . .
Exploration did not end with America’s discovery. That was only the beginning. Here is some food for thought in the form of a quote from the 1500s:
“We ate only old biscuit reduced to powder, all full of worms and stinking of the
urine that the rats made on it. And we drank water that was yellow and
stinking.”~Antonio Pigatetta 1500s, a sailor aboard the Magellan
Step back in time: Would you have the willingness to try?
Awakenings: Voice of America: Change?
A critical tipping point for America is at our doorstep. Changes are about to be made, whether we are in agreement or not, they are inevitible. Election brings about major change: changes in government, changes in policy, changes that may or may not represent balance of power.
