Hi, beachy..((HUGS)).

Next MOnday I will "see" you from work. UGH!

Well, my brother from Texas is an OSU Grad. My sister from the city is an OU grad so I really don't have any favorite.

But, I do know one thing. I'm rooting for OU to beat Nebraska this Saturday.

[Stonewall Jackson]

Some modern "revisionist" historians have tried to say that this poem was written in memory of Narciso Lopez's expedition to liberate Cuba, but there are a number of key points that make this highly unlikely.

First is this section:
Not long, our stout old Chieftain knew,
Such odds his strength could bide.
Twas in that hour his stern command
Called to a martyr’s grave
The flower of his beloved land,

General Zachary Taylor, who was raised in Louisville, Kentucky, was the American commander at Buena Vista. During the battle, he was forced to order the 2nd Kentucky Infantry Regiment to make a spoiling attack against a vastly superior Mexican force in order to buy himself enough time to rally the remainder of his forces. The Kentuckians succeeded in their attack but suffered heavily for it.

The second point is here:
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground

The word Kentucky is Native American for Dark and Bloody Ground, because of the numerous battles fought here between Northern Indians from the Midwest and Great Lakes area and Southern Indians from the Cumberland and Tennessee River Valley areas.

But the key point is that the poem was first published in a Frankfort newspaper in 1850 but Lopez didn't invade Cuba until August 1851.
