It was a big deal in this part of the country and I suspect most kids today have never heard of it either. I know I could have written more, but didn't feel like looking up all the names and dates. Okay. I'm done I'm spending more time correcting typos than I am actually writing words. See you tomorrow

howdy one last time tonight Melinda...well I thought it was fine the way it was, I was just curious because of my interest in Indian events. Like who made that fine statue, was that a descendant?
Larado Taft (distant descendant of President Taft) was a talented sculpture and created elaborate fountains and statues. There are many books and videos about the Black Hawk War. I've read a couple but it's been a while so all my facts are not right in the forefront. If you ever become interested to read up on it I have more photos of some of the places that played a role in the war.
Thank you melinda010100. I may need those if I decide to do a series on the subject, I probably will someday so thank you!
I would love that! We could do a colaboration.... Your story and words and my photos!
there ya go! that would work and I'm sure it will happen someday. I cold say "here's my photographer's photos!" lol. and put your name all over the post, people wouldn't know who to thank.
I remember early on there were groups trying to promote colaborations, but it never took off. I do something of the sort with the Shadow Contest when I have a guest judge. They come up with the idea for the topic and provide the sample photos for that week's contest and then they judge the entries. I still do the post and put it all together but I use their photographs wirh credit to them and their ideas. They often get a few new folliwers our of it.
howdy there melinda010100..oh I see..yes that would work. But overall I reckon people are too independent and their schedules too crazy to do much work together.
hey you really are part redneck aren't you.."folliwers?" lol.
