You studied that in American History? Neat. I was raised in N.Y. state and IIRC all of 7th grade was New York history. It was so interesting — especially the indian tribes and nations.
If Ithaca residents have unhappy spirits under their feet, it explains a lot. My formerly-conservative cousin settled there and he’s gone over to the dark side. Family reunions are interesting.
I remember that. We had to draw the shape of NY on a sheet of tablet paper and we were graded on it. We mapped out all of the history we studied. It was great.
