At the end of the video, there is a slideshow of some photographs that I took. The first three photos are of the statue. The fourth photo is of a very small elephant with the letters HOH on his back. This is very small and it's hard to see unless you were really looking for it. I have no idea what the elephant or the HOH means; if anybody does, please let me know. The fifth photo is the name Henry H Kitson who was the sculptor. More information about him can be found here: The sixth photo is hard to see, but it says Roman Bronze Works N-Y-. More information on this bronze foundry can be found here: The seventh and eighth photos are of the inscriptions on the statue. The last photo was taken at the Lloyd Tilghman House and Civil War Museum. #JCRamZ #Paducah #LloydTilghman

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Kentucky was a border state of key importance in the American Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln recognized the importance of the Commonwealth when, in a September 1861 letter to Orville Browning, he wrote:
I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game. Kentucky gone, we cannot hold Missouri, nor Maryland. These all against us, and the job on our hands is too large for us. We would as well consent to separation at once, including the surrender of this capitol.
Kentucky, being a border state, was among the chief places where the Brother against brother scenario was prevalent. Kentucky officially declared its neutrality at the beginning of the war, but after a failed attempt by Confederate General Leonidas Polk to take the state of Kentucky for the Confederacy, the legislature petitioned the Union Army for assistance. After early 1862 Kentucky came largely under Union control.
Kentucky was the site of several fierce battles, including Mill Springs and Perryville. It was host to such military leaders as Ulysses S. Grant on the Union side, who first encountered serious Confederate gunfire coming from Columbus, Kentucky, and Confederate cavalry leader Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest proved to be a scourge to the Union Army in western Kentucky, even making an attack on Paducah. Kentuckian John Hunt Morgan further challenged Union control, as he conducted numerous cavalry raids through the state.
Kentucky was the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd, and his southern counterpart, Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
In the historiography of the Civil War, Kentucky is treated primarily as a border state, with special attention to the social divisions during the secession crisis, invasions and raids, internal violence, sporadic guerrilla warfare, federal-state relations, the ending of slavery, and the return of Confederate veterans.35,000 Kentuckians served as Confederate soldiers; an estimated 125,000 Kentuckians served as Union soldiers.
Extraordinary Valor in the Face of Deadly Enemy Fire
WKCTC history professor Berry Craig presents Extraordinary Valor in the Face of Deadly Enemy Fire in the Matheson Library on the WKCTC campus. The lecture concerns the life of Andrew Jackson Smith, who escaped slavery in what is today Lyon County and ultimately joined the Union army. After the war, he settled near Grand Rivers. He was selected for a Medal of Honor but never recieved it. His bravery in battle earned him the Medal of Honor, but not until 2001, more than 136 years after his act of extraordinary valor in the face of deadly enemy fire. The medal was presented to his grandson in Washington DC by President Bill Clinton. Twenty-five African Americans won the Medal of Honor for their participation in the Civil War. Smith was the only one from the Bluegrass State.
