00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:48.360
All right, what.

49
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.199
Happened on August the twenty ninth. In eighteen eighty three,

50
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.439
steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie opened up his first public library.

51
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.759
It was over in Scotland. Now, by the time he

52
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.479
died in nineteen nineteen, Carnegie had opened and up two

53
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.439
thy five hundred and nine public libraries all across the world,

54
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.960
mainly the United States, though he felt guilty for the

55
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.240
way he acted creating his fortune.

56
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:09.159
Nineteen eleven.

57
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.879
Ishi he was a fifty year old man who was

58
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.000
a member of the Yahee Indian tribe. Now he just

59
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.639
showed up out of the blue in the middle of

60
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.560
nowhere in Oreville, California. He is considered the last indigenous

61
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.479
Native American to make contact with European Americans.

62
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.120
Ischi. He was the last person from his tribe.

63
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.199
So he was all alone, sitting up there on the mountains,

64
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:29.719
and he just finally thought, you know what, I'm gonna

65
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.199
go down to that town and see what civilization's all about.

66
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.759
I guess he liked it. He did live until nineteen sixteen.

67
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.599

nine he married divorce. His second wife twice. They had

166
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:55.000
one daughter and one son. Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana,

167
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.600
in nineteen fifty eight. Michael was the eighth out of

168
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.200
the ten Jackson kids. Michael made his day to view

169
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.120
with The Jackson Five at six years old. Now the

170
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.159
Jackson Five. They did pretty good. They sold over one

171
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.480
hundred million records. Solo, Michael sold over five hundred million.

172
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.240
That's second only to Elvis. On a side note, Drake,

173
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.440
his record sales are on pace to out sell both

174
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.600
Michael and Elvis if he keeps the same pace up

175
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.840
As an actor in Michael's biggest movie was The Whiz.

176
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.320
His first wife was Lisa Marie Presley for a couple

177
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.080
of years. Then he married Debbie Row for a couple

178
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.600
of years and they had a son and a daughter.

179
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.240

180
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.080
third child from a surrogate. Michael was fifty years old

181
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.200
when he died in two thousand and nine. The doctor

182
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.000
