  • Rattlesnake Mountain Farmington CT
    This Mountain Hike In Connecticut Leads To Something Awesome Looking for a mountain hike in Connecticut that’s truly unique? Then look no further! At the top of this mountain is a hidden site, unknown by many Connecticut residents. But a little piece of folk history is waiting to be rediscovered by you. So let’s get going! Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington is a 2.3-mile hike off of Route 6. Part of the Metacomet Ridge, this short trail can be a little taxing for beginners, but it's totally worth it! Be prepared to catch some fantastic sights atop this scenic vista as you explore the rare plants and traprock ridges. An increasing number of locals have begun using the ridges here for rock climbing. They may look for intimidating, but they make for great exercise. Not to mention you'd be climbing volcanic rock. At 750 feet high and 500 feet above the Farmington River Valley, there's no shortage of views. But the coolest thing atop this mountain isn't the sight. It's Will Warren's Den! This boulder rock cave is a local historic site that will leave you breathless. Who knew Connecticut had caves quite like this! 1 The plaque affixed to the cave reads "Said Warren, according to legend, after being flogged for not going to church, tried to burn the village of Farmington. He was pursued into the mountains, where some Indian squaws hid him in this cave." It may not look like much from the outside, but the inside is a cool oasis.

  • The Bret King Series by David Baumann Posts on the Galloping Ghost Message Board 5,728 Words
    The Bret King Series by David Baumann posts on the Galloping Ghost Message Board 5,728 words February 6, 2004—post 723 The Bret King series (1960-1964) by Dan Scott first came to my attention last fall when I found an advertisement for it on the back of a Biff Brewster book. Western stories would not normally be my first choice of series genre, but a few years ago I collected and enjoyed the X Bar X Boys series, and, since there were only nine Brets in the set, I decided to give them a try. I found the ninth and last volume first in a local bookstore. The first seven in dust jacket came my way in one fell swoop through ebay, and a short time later the eighth followed suit. The entire series was on my bookshelf before I cracked any of the volumes. On November 28 I placed a query on this message board about the series. James Keeline responded, “I have not read them, so I can’t speak from first-hand experience. However, most and probably all were written by Squire Omar Barker, an author of western stories so they should have a bit more realism than something like the X-Bar-X Boys series. Interestingly, both were set in the then-current-day West rather than the old West.” Seth Smolinske (who a week earlier had read the second book in the series) wrote that that entry was “so-so.” My friend Fred Woodworth reported that the Brets “now and then [got] fairly good, but mostly [were] sort of ‘mediocre.’” So when I finally turned to volume one, page one, I expected to encounter a series that was maybe a little better than passable.

  • John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'fearna)
    John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'Fearna) Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.

  • The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area
    The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Selected Level 0 Cultural Landscape Assessments 2010 Suzanne Turner Associates, LLC Consultant for Historic Landscapes 635 Louisiana Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Suzanne Turner, FASLA John Welch, RLA Nick Musso, ASLA This study was initiated by the State of Louisiana, Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, in order to fulfill federal mandates related to funding and designation of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Debra Credeur, Executive Director of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area spearheaded the selection of the cultural resources that were surveyed, in order to represent the region in areal extent, cultural resource type, and importance of the different resources in the basin. The primary resources for the site selection process were 1) the National Park Service Cultural Landscape Management Guideline, and 2) a Heritage Resource Screening Process used by a similar heritage area with an approved Management Plan. This process selects resources under the broader categories of cultural, historical, natural and recreational, which is consistent with our enabling legislation, and then breaks these categories down further into themes. The National Park Service Planning Team then consulted with the State of Louisiana Architectural Historian and National Register Coordinator to select National Historic Landmarks and other cultural landscapes that reflect heritage area themes. Effort was made to have all types of landscapes represented as well as all 14 parishes. The individual assessments will be used as references for similar types of resources for projects in the future. Suzanne Turner Associates was contracted to conduct a “Level 0” assessment of selected properties within the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, and to document the basic history of the site, construct a bibliography and partial literature review for each subject property, and document existing threats to the cultural assets of the region.
