Yeah, I do have some interest in the Trail of Death. It boggles my mind to think that after the Potawatomi gave up their land for the Michigan Road, they were later forcibly marched out of the state on it (as far as Logansport, anyway).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881186371752795468.post-22647096720238760162008-07-25T14:51:00.000-04:002008-07-25T14:51:00.000-04:00Let's test "its a small world" theory..what was yo...Let's test "its a small world" theory..what was your grandmother's maiden name?

My eye for historic architecture is still developing.<BR/><BR/>My maternal grandmother (b. 1916) was from Rochester. Her father was a sign painter (and a gambler and a drunk; ah, family). Could it be possible.....?<BR/><BR/>I'm also part Potawatomi from my grandmother's family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
