While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
The most costly war in which
the United States ever engaged, considering
the number of opponents, occurred in the
winter of 1872-73 in the lava-beds of
Oregon. Fifty Modoc Indians, under the
leadership of one Kientpoos - commonly known
as Captain Jack, held that pedregal against
overwhelming numbers of regular soldiers
upon whom they inflicted defeat after defeat
with little loss to themselves.
