Duchess of Weaselskin

From the top of the mountain we can view and bless the beauty below. Lady Sadie and NW Okie put on their hiking, climbing shoes, venturing to the top of the mountain behind their home here in Southwest Colorado Rockies, North of Bayfield. I can tell you that NW Okie got a bit nervous when Sadie would get close to the edge and peak at the scene below.

This week we dedicated our Okie Legacy Ezine to the Native Americans and European ancestors of the Appalachia region on the Eastern side of North America. The first Native Americans were the Shawnee, Choctaw, Creek and Cherokee (the dominate tribe). The European ancestors that settled in this region were the Germans, English, Wales and the Scots of Northern Ireland because of hard times overseas.

Here is an inquiry submitted to our OkieLegacy Archives concerning Hugh Farmer Hurst & Wealthy Missouri (Jones), Vol. 6, Iss. 14, 2004-04-03, Vickie J. Pittman Glover comments, "Hello, My name is Vickie J Pittman Glover. I am a direct descendent of John Mill Creek Hurst his son Thomas H Hurst is the parent of Sylvia F. Hurst born 1803, married to James P. Pittman. I am trying to get all the Hurst info on my web site. I am missing birth dates and Counties and State where they are born, Can you add Hugh F. Hurst and Wealthys' birth, death and marriage dates their childrens names etc? Do you have any pictures you could scan and e-mail me? Always, Cousin Vickie J."

There was a hilarious new word that popped up this last week when a certain news anchorman spoke of Donald Trump. That word is "Bloviating Ignoramous."

Bloviating - talking at length, in an inflated or empty way. We all know what an "ignoramus" is, don't we? The modern sense may derive from the name of a character in George Ruggle's Ignoramus (1615), a satirical comedy exposing lawyers' ignorance.

We leave you with this quote made by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining . . . We demand this fraud be stopped."
