Long, long ago, there were Indians that lived on Timpanogos. Every year they gave a sacrifice to the great god Timpanogos. One year it was very dry, and the Indians thought the great god was angry with them. The Chief had a young daughter who was very beautiful and of age to be chosen as the sacrifice. All the young girls in the tribe were blindfolded and given an opportunity to choose a pebble from a pottery dish. The chief's daughter, Utahna, chose the black pebble. It was her fate to go atop the mountain and be the sacrifice. All of her tribesmen were sad and they wanted someone else to go instead. But, she bade her friends goodbye and ascended the mountain, winding her way towards the highest peak. When she reached the top, she knelt in prayer. Begging for rain, with her arms outstretched, she made her plea to the God of Timpanogos. A handsome young brave had watched her and followed her to the top. "Please do not jump!" Red Eagle said. Utahna thought Red Eagle was the Great God of Timpanogos. He led her to a cave and there they lived for many years. As time went by the two fell in love. One day Red Eagle was attacked and injured by a bear. Because he was hurt, Utahna knew he was not the Great God of Timpanogos. She cared for him until he got well, then she left one morning to ascend the mountain and complete her sacrifice. When the sun was up, she stretched out her arms and leaped to the crags below. Realizing too late where she had gone, the young warrior found and gathered her broken body in his arms and carried her to the cave. In the cave their two hearts were made into one, as we see in the Great Heart of Timpanogos. If you look closely at the mountain, people say you can see an outline of Utahna lying on the top of Mount Timpanogos. #sundaystories #truelove #anericanhistory #usfolklore #utah #mounttimpanogos #greatheart #ucanogas #indianprincess #legends #redeagle #utahna #goddess #lovestories #tales #americanindiantribes #reflection #appreciation #didyouknow A beautiful moment to reflect on all that we are and all that we have...body, kind & soul with lovely @kate_belleame In #Tulum captured by @heh_photography_ (at Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple)

National Civil War cemeteries are the resting places for Union soldiers, not the rebels they were fighting. Many confederate soldiers are buried where they fell in battle, many were carted away to mass graves not out of disrespect but for urgency and sanitation. Some families had the means to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones but most did not. What compassion and generous Carrie McGavock showed to donate the land, organize the labor and catalogue the names of the fallen confederate soldiers who died in the Battle of Franklin. They are arranged by state, buried among their neighbors and fellow servicemen. . . #battleoffranklin #civilwar #carntonplantation #mcgavockcemetery #franklintn #historymatters #anericanhistory (at McGavock Confederate Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B42UqipHCv_/?igshid=1l2gfapou2tmb

It was a powerful story which made me think of my own reason for making it, American history has a lot of good and bad, which was a heavy influence #curiosity #anericanhistory #steampunk

Born in the USA #streetart just a different viewpoint to consider. From birth it seems though full of beauty, seldom valued or given much worth. Bullet holes in millions of discarded souls. #endangeredspecies #humanity #justice #injustice #equality #ferguson #baltimore #anericanhistory #TMNK #mytwocentsTMNK #mytwocents You can find small signed works like this available on #eBay ( search for #TMNK ) sold by the artist exclusively in his Wall2WallStreetArt Store #mytwocents #streetart #contemporaryart #graffiti #streetart on #art on cardboard #mytwocentsTMNK

14th century tower of St. Lawrence's Church, Weston-Under-Penyard. St. Lawrence was one of the seven deacons of Rome in the 3rd century. The Prefect of Rome ordered him to hand over the treasures of the church, whereupon he gathered the sick and poor in his care and said, 'These are the Treasures of the church'. The legend says he was roasted to death on a grid iron as punishment for his defiance. Richard Amerike, one of the two persons reputed to possibly be the person the American continents were named after, was born in Weston-under-Penyard... The other contender to this honour being the Italian Amerigo Vespucci #westonunderpenyard #herefordshire #church #14thcentury #architecture #anericanhistory #romanbritain #tower #architecture (at weston under penyard)
