Greenville is a city in Hunt County, Texas, United States, approximately 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Dallas. It is the county seat and largest city of Hunt County. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 25,557, and in 2016 the estimated population was 27,172.
Greenville was named for Thomas J. Green,[9] a significant contributor to the founding of the Texas Republic.[10]
Geography
Greenville is located in North Texas at 33°7′34″N 96°6′35″W (33.126004, −96.109703),[11] in central Hunt County. Greenville is situated in the heart of the Texas blackland prairies, 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Dallas and about 45 miles (72 km) south of the Texas/Oklahoma border, on the eastern edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Greenville has a total area of 33.4 square miles (86.6 km2), of which 32.6 square miles (84.5 km2) are land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km2), or 2.46%, are water.[4] The Cowleech Fork of the Sabine River flows through the northeast part of the city.
Climate
Greenville is considered to be a part of the humid subtropical region. Due to its location on the north Texas prairies the climate is typically humid with mild precipitation.
History
City in 1886
Cotton scene, public square, Greenville, Texas (postcard, circa 1908)
Greenville was founded in 1846. The city was named after Thomas J. Green, a significant contributor to the establishment of the Texas Republic. He later became a member of the Congress of the Texas Republic. The city was almost named Pinckneyville in honor of James Pinckney Henderson, the first governor of Texas.[citation needed]
As the Civil War loomed, Greenville was divided over the issue of secession, as were several area towns and counties. Greenville attorney and State Senator Martin D. Hart was a prominent Unionist. He formed a company of men who fought for the Union in Arkansas, even as other Greenville residents fought for the Confederacy. The divided nature of Greenville and Hunt County is noted by a historical marker in The SPOT Park at 2800 Lee Street in downtown Greenville. In the post-Civil War era, Greenville's economy became partly dependent on cotton as the local economy entered a period of transition.[12]
With a population of 12,384 in the 1920 census, the city was the 20th largest in Texas at the time.
In World War II, the Mexican Escuadrón 201 was stationed in Greenville while training at nearby Majors Field.
Greenville was notorious for a large sign, installed on July 7, 1921, over Lee Street, the main street in the downtown district, between the train station and the bus station in the 1920s to 1960s. The sign read: Welcome to Greenville, The Blackest Land, The Whitest People.[13][14] According to history teacher Paul E. Sturdevant of Greenville, the original intent behind the whitest people was to define the citizens of Greenville as friendly, trustworthy and helpful was sincere, and it was meant to include all citizens, regardless of race.[14] In pre-civil rights America, the phrase That's mighty white of you meant that you were honest, not like suspect blacks. The sign thus acquired racial overtones, and the original sign was taken down and placed into storage on April 13, 1965, possibly at the urging of Texas Governor John Connally, who had made a visit to the town weeks before.[14] In 1968, Greenville's Sybil Maddux had the sign reinstalled, with the wording modified to read The Greatest People; the original sign is in the collection of the Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum.[14]

On May 12, 2011, a white buffalo was born near Greenville during a thunderstorm on the ranch of Arby Littlesoldier, who identified himself as a great-great grandson of Sitting Bull. A public naming ceremony and dedication was held on June 29, 2011, during which the male calf was officially given the title Lightning Medicine Cloud.[16] However, on August 21, 2012, Lightning Medicine Cloud died. The Sheriff's department declared it had died from a bacterial infection,[17] but the owners disagree, claiming that the buffalo was allegedly skinned by an unknown party.[18]

The History of Audie Murphy - a Short Story
Friend me on Facebook! Today is the anniversary of the birth of Audie Murphy, the war hero/actor who's real life accomplishments make Rambo look like a sissy. Some of the jokes were taken from an article by Marc Russel which I shouldn't have done (I was writing in a haste, and the error of that didn't occur to me).
-----
Audie Murphy was born in Kingston, Hunt County, TX. He grew up on a farm near Greenville, TX, and dropped out of school in the 5th grade to help support his family by plowing and picking cotton.
Audie had always dreamed of joining the military, and after the attack on Pearl Harbor he tried to enlist, but was rejected as he was underage.
In June of 1942 after his 17th birthday his sister adjusted his birth date so that he seemed to be 18, giving him the legal ability to enlist. He was turned down again and probably laughed at by the Marines and the U.S. Army paratroopers because of his short 5.5 inch height and for being a meager 110 lbs, both of which were under the minimum weight and height requirements for the military.
He was eventually accepted and sent to basic training where he passed out during a drill. His company commander attempted to have him transferred to a cook and baker's school, but Murphy insisted on becoming a combat soldier. He accepted in, and after rigorous training was shipped to Casablanca, Morocco, and then Sicily. While in Italy he was promoted to corporal for his shooting skills and contracted malaria which he had for most of the war.
Audie was then sent to Southern France, and on August 15th, 1944 he encountered a German machine gun crew that pretended that they were surrendering, but then shot Audie's best friend. Audie completely hulked out, killed everyone in the gun nest, and then used their weapons to kill every German soldier in a 100-yard radius, including two more machine gun nests and a bunch of snipers. Audie was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross (which is second only to the Medal of Honor), and made a platoon commander while presumably everyone else gave an apology for calling him shorty.
On January 26, 1945 he was given the job to defend a critical region in France called the Colmar Pocket, but all he had were 19 guys and a few M-10 tank destroyers.
The Germans showed up with a bunch of men and a dozen tanks. Reinforcements weren't coming for a while, so Murphy and his men hid in a trench and sent their M10s to go attack. The tanks were badly damaged and instead of giving up, the malaria-stricken Murphy ran up to a crippled M-10, hopped behind the .50 caliber machine gun and started shooting at everything in sight.
By the way, I forgot to mention that the tank he was on was on fire and had a full tank of gas.
Audie kept it for about an hour until he ran out of bullets. He then got off the tank and walked back to his men as the M-10 exploded behind him, probably while in slow motion, a la epic action movie.
Murphy was given every single medal out there, and then when they ran out of medals to give him they gave doubles of ones he already had, which racked his medal count to 33.
After seeing Audie's photo on the cover of LIFE magazine, he was brought to Hollywood to be an actor. Over the next few years he didn't see much work and became very disillusioned, but in 1949 he got his big break in the movie Bad Boy. He went on to write his autobiography, To Hell and Back which was then made into a movie which he starred in as himself. He had parts of the film omitted so that the audience didn't think that he was exaggerating the events that happened or that he was making stuff up. For 20 years it was the highest grossing film that Universal Studios made It took a movie about a giant man-eating shark to top Audie Murphy's awesomeness. In his short career he acted in over 44 films, and in addition to his movie career he also became a country music song writer.
On May 28, 1971, during Memorial Day weekend, Audie Murphy was killed at age 46 when his private plane crashed into a mountain near Virginia.
Although there is a tragic ending to this story, the legacy of Audie Murphy live on. That's the history of Audie Murphy.
E.G. RATLIFF RECITATION OF MY NAME IS OLD GLORY May 25, 2014
May 25, 2014 recitation of My Name Is Old Glory by my Dad, E.G. Ratliff, a WWII Navy veteran. His brother's name who is dedicating this to is Hardin Austin Ratliff, and he died shortly after sustaining wounds in the Salerno Beach landings in 1943 while serving with the 36th Infantry Division. His name can be found at the top of one of the monuments commemorating the fallen that have served from Hunt County at the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum in Greenville, TX.

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.
