Trailer - Voices of Morristown College
This video is about the historical black college established 1881 in Morristown, TN by then Holston Methodist Episcopal Conference.

Oaklands Mansion continues Candlelight Tour in downtown Murfreesboro
Please subscribe & share
There are plenty of holiday activities around town, but how about one you'll walk away from with a history lesson?
The Oaklands Mansion's annual Candlelight Tour in Downtown Murfreesboro is Saturday.
For more than 30 years, candles have lit the way as people explore the historic.
On Saturday, tour guides will be stationed throughout the Oaklands Mansion dressed in a 17th century outfit with a history lesson.
“You can walk through the house at your own leisure. And you can stay as long as you want,” said the museum's Executive Director James Manning.
The tour also features several private homes that are also rich in history.
“As you go throughout the tour, each stop will be different because they are all private homes,” explained Manning. “Some of them will let you go upstairs; some of the houses will be downstairs only. Some of them will have friends that will be stationed throughout the house to tell you how they acquired the house or restored it or if it's been in the family.
The tour is on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Advanced tickets are $12.50 on the museum's website. On Saturday tickets will be $15 for adults and $5 for kids at the door.
You can buy a ticket at any of the stops on the tour.
Julia's Bakery will be downtown with tasty holiday treats and warm cups of hot chocolate and apple cider during the event.

Morristown: Where America Survived: The Ultimate Test / NJN
Morristown: Where America Survived is a thirty-minute High Definition documentary which revisits that winter of 1779-80 when Washingtons troops arrived at the densely-wooded area just south of Morristown known as Jockey Hollow, to build a log hut city for their winter camp. The film is an eye-opening look at how the camp saved the army and the American Revolution from the brink of disaster.

These are reconstructed huts that soldiers used during the winter of 1778-1778 in Morristown, New Jersey. Washington had encamped there during this time.

Denville 100th Anniversary Parade (June 9, 2013)
This is the Denville, New Jersey Centennial Parade, held on June 9, 2013. This was taken from my vantage point on Savage Road in front of Gardner Field. This was at the end of the parade route, and it seems things had started to fall apart a little bit by then. I did not get the very end of the parade, which was the Denville Fire Department. Honestly I had thought it was over by then, because there was such a large gap (one of many) before they arrived.
In any case, this is 98% of the parade, so enjoy! If enough people would prefer to see a shorter version (with the gaps edited out) I would consider producing one.

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
=======
Price's Missouri Expedition, also known as Price's Raid, was a Confederate raid through the states of Missouri and Kansas in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War during the autumn of 1864. Led by Confederate Major General Sterling Price, the campaign's intention was to recapture Missouri and renew the Confederate initiative in the larger conflict.
Despite winning several early victories, Price was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Westport by Union forces under Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis in late October. He suffered subsequent reverses at the hands of Union cavalry under Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton at the Battle of Mine Creek, Kansas, forcing him to retreat back into Arkansas. Price's Raid proved to be the last significant Southern operation west of the Mississippi River. Its failure bolstered confidence in an ultimate Union victory in the war, thereby contributing to President Abraham Lincoln's re-election. It also cemented Federal control over the hotly-contested border state of Missouri.
