Historical background (Source Wikipedia)
Carl Milles; (23 June 1875 – 19 September 1955) was a Swedish sculptor. He was married to artist Olga Milles and brother to Ruth Milles and half brother to the architect Evert Milles. Carl Milles sculpted the Gustaf Vasa statue at the Stockholm Nordic Museum, the Poseidon statue in Gothenburg, the Orpheus group outside the Stockholm Concert Hall, and the Fountain of Faith in Falls Church, Virginia. His home near Stockholm, Millesgården, became his resting place and is now a museum.
Milles (June 23, 1875 – September 19, 1955) was born Carl Wilhelm Andersson, son of lieutenant Emil Mille Andersson and his wife Walborg Tisell, at Lagga outside Uppsala in 1875. In 1897 he made what he thought would be a temporary stop in Paris on his way to Chile, where he was due to manage a school of gymnastics. However, he remained in Paris, where he studied art, working in Auguste Rodin's studio and slowly gaining recognition as a sculptor. In 1904 he and Olga moved to Munich.
Two years later they settled in Sweden, buying property on Herserud Cliff on Lidingö, a large island near Stockholm. Millesgården was built there between 1906 and 1908 as the sculptor's private residence and workspace. It was turned into a foundation and donated to the Swedish people in 1936.
In 1931, American publisher George Gough Booth brought Milles to Cranbrook Educational Community, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to serve as his sculptor in residence. Part of Booth's arrangement with his principal artists was that they were expected to create major commissions outside the Cranbrook environment.
Sculpture at Fort Christina
In 1938, for the 300th anniversary of the founding of New Sweden, the country commissioned a sculpture by Milles featuring a replica of the Kalmar Nyckel, the ship which originally brought the Swedish colonists to America. The sculpture is located at Fort Christina in Wilmington, Delaware, near the landing site where the colonists arrived in 1638.
In America he is best known for his fountains. Milles's fountain group The Wedding of the Waters in St. Louis symbolizes the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers merging just upstream. Commissioned in 1936 and unveiled in May 1940 to a crowd of about 3000 people, the fountain caused a local uproar because of its playful, irreverent, naked, and nearly cartoonish figures, and because Milles had conceived the group as a wedding party. Local officials insisted that the name be changed to The Meeting of the Waters.
Outside Detroit's Frank Murphy Hall of Justice is a Carl Milles statue, The Hand of God, which was sculpted in honor of Frank Murphy, Detroit Mayor, Michigan Governor, and United States Supreme Court Associate Justice. The statue was placed on a pedestal with the help of sculptor Marshall Fredericks. The statue was commissioned by the United Automobile Workers, and paid for by individual donations from UAW members. The Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research, an annual award for research on entrepreneurship, consists of a replica statuette of The Hand of God and a prize of 100,000 euros.
Milles Indian head
Photographs of his sculptures, taken for a monograph on Milles, are now held in the Carl Milles Photograph Collection, c. 1938–1939, in the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Milles and his wife returned to Sweden in 1951, and lived in Millesgården every summer until Milles's death in 1955. They spent winters in Rome, where the American Academy had supplied them with a studio. Milles and his wife, Olga, who died in 1967 in Graz, Austria, are buried in a small stone chapel, designed by Milles, at Millesgården. Because Swedish law requires burial on sacred ground, it took the assistance of the then reigning Gustaf VI Adolf to allow this resting place.

Places to see in ( Saint Louis - USA )
Places to see in ( Saint Louis - USA )
St. Louis is a major city in Missouri along the Mississippi River. Its iconic, 630-ft. Gateway Arch, built in the 1960s, honors the early 19th-century explorations of Lewis and Clark and America's westward expansion in general. Replica paddlewheelers ply the river, offering views of the arch. The Soulard district is home to barbecue restaurants and clubs playing blues music.
St. Louis, the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, is a major midwestern metropolis filled with culture. St. Louis planners have created an aesthetically beautiful city with green space at the street level. It is said that St. Louis is second only to Washington, D.C. in the number of free activities available in an American city. The Gateway Arch, the world's tallest man-made monument, forms a triumphant city skyline. An open mall surrounded by reflecting pools leads up to the historic court house, the site of the Dred Scott decision, facing the Gateway Arch.
The city is named after King Louis IX of France. St. Louis is known by the nickname of The Gateway to the West. The city was the last major stop before pioneers journeyed Westward to the Pacific coast. The city also played a large part during the steamboat era due to its position at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Missouri River. St. Louis was acquired from France by the United States during President Thomas Jefferson's term in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. The transfer of power from Spain was made official in a ceremony called, Three Flags Day. On March 8, 1804, the Spanish flag was lowered and the French one raised. On March 10, the French flag was replaced by that of the USA. In 1904, St. Louis hosted that year's World's Fair and the Summer Olympic Games. Many of the parks, buildings, and finer homes in St. Louis were built around this time period. While there are few, if any, living residents who attended the Fair, it holds an important place in the modern development of the city.
Slide into St Louis and revel in the unique vibe of the largest city in the Great Plains. Beer, bowling and baseball are some of the top attractions, but history and culture, much of it linked to the Mississippi River, are a vital part of the fabric. And, of course, there's the iconic Gateway Arch that you have seen in a million pictures; it's even more impressive in reality. Many music legends, including Scott Joplin, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner and Miles Davis, got their start here and jammin' live-music venues keep the flame burning.

Travel: Beautiful Nature in Branson, MO / Big Cedar Missouri in Autumn
SUBSCRIBE:
--------- EXPAND for links and details ----------
This is my first YouTube video about traveling. Traveling is a part of my life and I believe it is the same for most of you. We all need to get away from our daily routines, right? Since I moved to the US, I haven’t been able to travel much simply because I couldn’t take a flight, and it has been extremely painful for me. Now that I can travel and of course when time permits I prefer to fly somewhere with a lot of nature.
Branson is a town in the Ozark mountains in southwestern Missouri (MO) and is known as a family vacation destination. It’s 76 Country Boulevard is famously lined with theatres, which once hosted mostly country music performers but today presents more diverse entertainment. Also along the strip are the Marvel Cave, the Wild West Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction, and Silver Dollar City which is a 1800’s themed amusement park with live music.
Places I think you must go in Branson:
Branson landing fountain:
165 Scenic Overlook:
Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner & Show:
Best BBQ restaurant:
We also stayed at Big Cedar in Ridgedale, which is an unincorporated community in southern Taney County, Missouri, United States. It lies about ten miles south of Branson on U.S. Route 65 near the Arkansas state line.
Places I think you must go near Branson for get-aways:
Table rock lake:
Dogwood Canyon: dogwoodcanyon.org/Default.aspx
I think Branson is really a good place to go if you are celebrating, be it family, friends or romance. Trust me, it will definitely put you center stage. The live show hosts will never forget to mention any guests' birthdays or anniversaries. Besides its live shows, it is also a nature-lovers paradise. You won't need to worry about where to go spend your time over there. As we are talking about time, if you like colors or like photography, I think Autumn is definitely the best time to go visit Branson. Each year from mid-Sep to November the Ozark Mountains are full of the rich fall colors of red, orange, and yellow. The Ozarks from afar are just stunning. So definitely plan ahead.
More of my USA travel videos will come up soon.

Tips for a visit to the Gateway Arch Saint Louis Mo: Christian goes on the Oregon Trail
Tips for a visit to the Gateway Arch Saint Louis Mo: We travel the Oregon Trail
This is our favorite city and Christian invites you to come and visit sometime!
We went to Saint Louis for the day and was not let down in our expectation of what it had to offer. The Arch museum was exciting and interactive. It was fun for all ages. It is free to explore the museum; however the arch ride it not free.
The new entrance was from the front of the arch and the exits were on the side of the river. They also have a water feature in the front of the arch-where you would walk in.
New security has been put in for everyone's safety. Parking is on the city street or public parking in the area.
For this sensory seeker the walk from the river front and the excitement of the train, walkway, water, and sights, sounds, and smells were enough to keep him busy and interested in what was going to happen next. He also tried out the scooters Saint Louis offers with an easy to download app by Lime or Bird.
Once at the Gateway Arch he had to touch the side, measure himself to the arch, and interact with the people visiting. Everyone was pleasant and engaged in simple conversations with him quickly and easily. He had a wonderful time inside the museum where again it was interactive and full of surprises.
Tips for this visit would be to park on the city side and not Morgan street as the entrance is now on the City side and not the river front side of the arch. The area has a large park which is nice for walks, scooters, and biking. The area is active and vibrant which can be over stimulating if your child has avoidance or anxiety. The fountain in the front of the Arch is large and you could get splashed if not careful. Inside you will be searched and guided to the exhibits. The line for the tram up the arch is always long so keep that in mind if you have younger children or older adults who need to rest. The exhibits are circular, sometimes noisy, and busy so keeping up with busy children is a bit challenging. The area has plenty of staff, guards, and park rangers so no fear a child will be stolen or lost. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend it to anyone-everyone.
per the website:
Trace the story of the Native Americans, explorers, pioneers, and rebels who made America possible. Featuring 201 years of history within six themed exhibit areas, this innovative and interactive museum celebrates America’s pioneering spirit and explains the westward expansion of the United States with an emphasis on St. Louis’ role in that era. The galleries span from 1764 to 1965 with topics covering the growth and stability of Saint Louis and it's people.
Christian enjoyed the Organ Trail interactive game while pretending to cross the Mississippi with staff who helped him understand what it would be like to leave Saint Louis and take one of the famous trails out west.

Chicago: Start of Route 66
U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66) was a United States Numbered Highway in Illinois that connected St. Louis, Missouri, and Chicago.
When US 66—first known as the Main Street of America and later dubbed the Mother Road by novelist John Steinbeck in 1939—was designated on November 11, 1926, the original path used mostly pre-existing roads. That was intentional, to minimize any needed construction and to get the entire path of the route open to traffic as soon as possible. In fact, because Illinois had already paved most of the roads that would comprise US 66, Illinois was the first of the eight states through which the route ran to have its segment of US 66 completed at a time when much of Route 66 was still a gravel-and-dirt road.
From south to north, these include the Beaux Arts style Joliet Union Station by Jarvis Hunt; the historic Church of St. Anthony, the oldest public building still in use in Joliet; the endangered St. Mary Carmelite Church by Patrick Keely; the Joliet Public Library, designed by Daniel Burnham; the restored Rialto Square Theatre, one of the few surviving movie palaces of the more than 400 designed by Rapp & Rapp; the Georgian Revival Louis Joliet Hotel, transformed into apartments but still an unfinished renovation project; the Neoclassical Old Joliet Post Office; the Auditorium Building block by G. Julian Barnes, a classic Joliet limestone building; the Joliet Area Historical Museum, which occupies another Julian Barnes building, the former Ottawa Street Methodist Church; the Italianate style Joliet Chamber of Commerce Clubhouse, now the JJC Renaissance Center, and the old Joliet YMCA across the street, both designed by Burnham Brothers; two Art Deco structures, the Public Service Building on Ottawa and the KSKJ Building on Chicago Street further north; and the magnificent Bedford limestone St. Joseph Church, designed by Burnham protege William J. Brinkmann and the largest church in the city, whose twin spires could be seen for miles around when Route 66 was new.
The current End Historic Illinois U.S. Route 66 markers are located on Jackson (eastbound) and the Start Historic Illinois U.S. Route 66 markers are on Adams (westbound) at Michigan Avenue, in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District, in recognition of the original eastern terminus of US 66 at Michigan and Jackson. The historic eastern terminus is marked by the southwest corner of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Fountain of the Great Lakes in the Art Institute's South Garden along Michigan Avenue; both the museum and the fountain were already there long before the route's inauguration at that intersection in November 1926 and remain there today.
Major intersections.
US 66 has come to stand for the collective, American tourist experience and holds a special place in American popular culture. There is a certain nostalgic appeal to Route 66 that is associated with the thrill of the open road that has contributed to its popularity. Looking at the historic roadway through Illinois from a different perspective, it reveals a unique history that tells the story of movement and road building across the prairie. Study of the highway in Illinois also reveals the evolution of the Interstate Highway System and the growing popularity of automobiles.
Aside from the six sections of the route in Illinois that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the entire stretch of US 66 through Illinois has been declared a National Scenic Byway and is alternatively known as the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway. The 436-mile (702 km) stretch of road was declared the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway on September 22, 2005 by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

A Tour of the 3rd Wealthiest City in the nation Eddie Duchin - Frankie Carle 1930's
I left my poor side of town heading for an estate sale that had vintage stereo equipment, that was a few miles from this area, but found it cancelled. Since I had my camera that I was going to use for making a video of the stereo equipment I decided to make this video since it was only a few miles away, and thought it might interesting to the youtube viewers. This is only a few of the many estates in this area. The first 1/3 of the video was filmed in Kansas City, Mo, the last 2/3rds is in Mission Hills, Kansas, a suburban city of Kansas city, and the 3rd wealthiest city in the nation, and right across the state line in the same general area, and also a very unique area. It was planned way back in 1914 with all of the high hills, trees, creeks, and streams to be left untouched. They built the huge estates high up on the hills, some on 3 to 5 acres all in a natural heavily wooded setting with beautiful winding streets. Some houses have ornate stone or wood bridges leading to the house over the creeks that are in front of the houses, some are on high hills with beautiful views from the back, and others on acreage. With the old stone bridges over the creeks it looks more like something you would expect to find in older areas in England. Most of the larger mansions were built in the 1920.s, are on acreage sized lots,and are very private. According to Forbes Magazine, Mission Hills ranks as the 3rd wealthiest neighborhood in the country.[12] Mission Hills has the highest median household income of any city in Kansas with a population over 1,000, as well as one of the highest median incomes for any city in the United States. See, we do have more than Dorothy and Toto. Since the estate sale was cancelled I went back to my poor neighborhood empty handed, Hope you enjoy your tour.
Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge Relaxing Waterfall Sounds-30 Minutes
Video taken on October 12, 2019
One of four covered bridges in Missouri, the Bollinger Mill bridge is located in Cape Girardeau county about 100 miles south of Saint Louis Missouri. The mill structure was built in the civil war time frame and is still standing. The bridge itself was completed in 1868 and has been restored and repaired several times over the years. Though it is closed to vehicles, it is open to pedestrian traffic.
The man made waterfall offers a relaxing and unique calming sounds with every visit. The gentle sounds of water cascading over the waterfall changes over time with the amount of water that flows over it.

I drove through downtown St. Louis. This is what I saw.
We begin our tour of St Louis on the corner of Broadway and Cole street, downtown, at the Dome at Americas Center. This is where the St Louis Rams used to play. It’s on the north end of downtown.
We’re going to drive up and down the streets of downtown St. Louis and show you different points of interest. It’s Wednesday, December, 18, 2019 at 10 o clock in the morning.
St Louis had just received 4 inches of snow the previous day, but on this day, the sun was shining bright. On an average year, St Louis gets about 16 inches of snow, so for St Louis, this was considered pretty decent snowfall.
St Louis was named for King Louis IX. The city was founded in 1764 as a French fur-trading village. Nicknamed the gateway to the west, St Louis has more free major tourist attractions than any other city in the country outside Washington, D.C. Visitors pay nothing to visit the art museum, the history museum, the science center and the zoo.
We’re coming up on Clark Street, which is where Busch Stadium is. This is home to the St Louis cardinals, Say Mappy: Did you know: The cardinals have won 11 world series titles. Also on this street is ballpark village on the right, where there are lots of restaurants and bars. On game days you can sit on the roof and watch the games from across the street.
We’re heading west now towards the Enterprise Center, which is another venue where they play hockey games and hold concerts. This is where the St Louis Blues play for the NHL. They just won the Stanley Cup only a few months back.
We’re heading north now on14th Street up towards the heart of downtown. Off to the east, you can see The Arch, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. We’ll go down there and get a closer view later.
We’ll head east now on Washington Street.
The American Planning Association called Washington Street one of the 10 best streets in America. Years back this was a pretty dumpy street, but after $100 million in renovations, now its one of the trendiest and hottest spots in St. Louis.
They say Washington Street is the perfect combination of modern chic meets classic 19th century architecture lined with beautiful lofts, eclectic boutiques and restaurants and exciting nightlife.
Now, we’re going to head south on 6th Street.
In 1904, St. Louis was the first U.S. city, and only the third in the world, to host the modern summer Olympics. St. Louis is home to Anheuser Busch, and Nestle Purina.
Directly in front of us is Keiner (like weaner) Plaza Park, which has a skating rink, playground, fountains and a concert area.
Off to the distance you can see the arch. The big domed building is the old courthouse, which is now part of the Gateway Arch National Park. It used to be where many important court cases, including the infamous Dred Scott anti slavery court case.
We’re going to go back down Broadway and take Market Street.
Now we’ll take Tucker Blvd north again.
This is Olive Street.
Now, we’re going to go back to 4th Street and head north so we can get to the entrance for the Gateway Arch.
In this part of town are a number of casinos.
The Gateway Arch is 630 feet high. It’s nicknamed the Gateway to the West, and is a monument to the Western Hemisphere. It’s the tallest arch in the world and the tallest man-made monument in the United States.
It was built in 1965 for a cost of 13 million dollars.
For $12 bucks you can take a tram to the top where there are windows from which you can see 30 miles to the east and west. People who go to the top sometimes get scared, since on windy days, it sways as much as 18 inches in either direction.
South of the arch now, we begin our departure from St. Louis. We’ll cross the Mississippi River over I-55 on the Clay Bridge.
St Louis is a really awesome city and there’s a TON of stuff to do. This was just the downtown area. There are many other areas to explore. St Louis gets a bad rap for being one of the most dangerous cities in the country, and there are some really bad and dangerous areas in the greater St Louis Metro area outside of downtown proper.
But as far as downtown itself, it’s a great city.
This channel talks about America, different states, education, travel, geography and what it's like to live in different places in America.

BLACK INVENTORS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF! TIMELESS BLACK EXCELLENCE
BLACK INVENTIONS
In this segment we are giving credit where credit is due to several black inventors
This is only a shirt list of inventions
I hand picked a few inventions I thought were the most significant.
As I am reading this list, keep in mind how different the world would be without these inventions.
The Touch Tone Phone, Caller ID, Fiber Optic Cable Shirley Jackson 1968, 1973

Current River in Missouri 2017
This video is about the beauty seen while Kayaking and Camping on the Current River in Missouri.
It covers some of the gorgeous scenery of the 55 miles from Baptist Camp to Two Rivers. The clips we used were filmed during 3 different seasons. You will see the springs that feed this river. Some nights, we were even able to have fresh caught Rainbow Trout. We highly recommend this trip!
