29
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.400
The number one book was hook Line Sinker by Tessa Bailey.

30
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.039
Top movie was The Lost City, a romance Rider Hearner

31
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.280
cover model. They got caught up in a kidnapping in

32
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.520
tent would leads to a jungle adventure stars Sandra Bullock,

33
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.520
Channing Tatum, and Brad Pitt. All Right, what happened on

34
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.120
March the twenty second, sixteen twenty two. The Jamestown Massacre

35
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.719
took place in what's Virginia today now the Powhaton Indians.

36
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.639
They attacked the Jamestown colonists and all their outlying settlements

37
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.599
for one hundred and forty seven colonists that were killed

38
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.120
and twenty other women were taking captives. See the Powhatans

39
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.280
they were tired of the colonists trying to integrate them

40
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.960
into their society, and the colonists kept taking more and

41
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.759
more land that belonged to the Powhadons. Well, that invasion,

42
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.080
it kind of causes US settlers all to fall back

43
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.240
into eight well grouped settlements. Word actually got back to

44
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.360
King James over in England. Now he was really mad,

45
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.479
so he ended up sending a whole bunch of guns

46
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.599
and Ammo over to make sure that didn't happen again.

47
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.560
Seventeen sixty five, Britain they put the Stamp Act on

48
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.000
the American colonists, put a tax on all printed materials

49
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.080
on newspapers, legal documents, pamphlets, playing cards, even. Yeah, so

50
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.039
that's pretty much really got the Americans upset and rioting

51
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.599
and everything. So after a whole year of raising hill

52
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.879
and protesting Britain they realized, you know what, we're socksly

53
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.199
costing us more money to enforce and collect that tax,

54
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.120
and we're actually taking in from the text. So yeah,

55
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.800
they repealed it. But the rallying cried during that whole time,

56
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.240
taxation without representation. Yeah, it stuck. They could use that

57
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.280
throughout the entire fight for independence. Now there was an outline.

58
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.159
His name was Big Nose George Parrott. Him and his

59
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.360
gang they tried to rob a train up in Wyoming. Well,

60
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
the robbery didn't go so good. They took off all

61
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.000
a Union Pacific detective in at Wyoming sheriff. They went

62
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.960
after him Parrot. He killed them both. So Parrott was

63
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.039
really on the run. He got arrested up in Montana.

64
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.960
They sent him back down to Wyoming. Today, in eighteen

65
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.919
eighty one, Big Nos George Parretty was tried, convicted, and

66
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.800
sentenced to death. Now while he is waiting is hanging.

67
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.759
He assaulted a prison guard and tried to escape, laps

68
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.840
out the townspeople. So they just got him right there

69
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.680
and hung him. Yeah, right on the spot. Now, after

70
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.159
he died, two of the town's doctors, John Osborne and

71
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800
Tom mcgahey, they wanted to study his brain. They wanted

72
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.719
to see how they could figure out why Parrot was

73
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.840
a bad guy. So they sot off the top of

74
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.000
his skull. Now, they gave that to their assistant. He

75
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.639
actually turned that into an ash straight. So then the

76
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.920
doctors poked him prod and around. They couldn't find anything,

77
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.160
so they skinned him. They sent his skin over to

78
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.319
the tannery. Yeah, some of his skin, it was made

79
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.600
into a medical bag. The rest of Paari's skin, it

80
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.199
was made into a pair of shoes. Now, doctor Osborne,

81
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.319
he wore those pair of shoes to his inauguration ball

82
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.480
when he's electing governor Wyoming. I know that sounds pretty

83
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.279
far out there, but you can actually go see those shoes.

84
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.759

87
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:47.639
drive him.

88
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:48.079
Yeah.

89
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.120
Well, he made his rounds on all his patients out there,

90
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.720
so he had twenty year old Annie learned how to

91
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.439
take apart that automobile and then put it back together

92
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.639
