Blood and Brotherhood: Drawing Strength from My Masonic Lineage

When my grandfather passed away in 1975, I was just a kid. I didn’t fully understand the significance of the men in dark suits, the white aprons, or the solemn ritual they performed. But the memory of his Masonic funeral stayed with me, even if I didn’t yet know what it truly meant. After we moved, my mom hung a wooden plaque on the wall it was the Masonic emblem. It was simple, unassuming—but…

Bloomington Station Stop

This is a northbound Amtrak Floridian making its station stop at Bloomington, Indiana. Once again, the line was the Louisville & Nashville at the time, but formerly the Monon (until 1971).

Hike #51 - Hoosier National Forest, Hardinsburg, IN. Lick Creek Trail, 5 miles I talk a lot about nature, flora and fauna, thoughts, zen. All things you can find in a forest. But you can also find human history in forests. This rather unassuming trail that follows an old road contains a forgotten remnant of a nation's scars. A badly neglected cemetary is all that remains of a community of further slaves that settled this area of what is today the HNF in the early 1800s. Indiana was a free state, but one can imagine how welcome these people must have felt considering most of their neighbors would have been transplanted Southerners. After a generation or two most of these people sold off their land and moved further north, some even to Canada. The cemetery is off the official trail, but I suspect this is mostly to deter vandalism as the info board shows it on the map and there are signs posted near the tiny rut of a road that leads into it. Even so, there isn't much left to look at today. #52hikes #52hikeschallenge #52hikechallenge #52hikes2021 #indiana #southernindiana #indianahistory #midwesthistory #undergroundrailroad #outdoors #easternwoodlands (at Lick Creek Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXw0YWpF1cm/?utm_medium=tumblr

We were all the way over in Marshall County, Indiana yesterday, when we stumbled across a statue honoring a local Native American Chief— and the unpleasant circumstances that led to his tribe leaving the area. Emily and I, who both have Cherokee blood, have found the most interesting things by accident when we go on day trips like this one. #statues #trailofdeath #nativeamerican #travel #indiana #marshalcounty #chiefmenominee #chiefmenomineestatue #monuments #indianahistory (at Marshall County, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLzu-VF63c/?utm_medium=tumblr

My day started with digging up trees in a guy's yard and replacing them in our yard. From there I ended up at the 5 Medals gathering in Goshen. This is a reenactment sponsored by the Elkhart Parks.From there I wound my way north to Shipshewana and then Bonneyville Mills. The dahlias were all in bloom and the colors were just beginning to turn. Ended the evening with a beautiful sunset over the lake in Michigan. Lots of miles, but such a beautifully perfect day for adventuring. #elkhartcounty #elkhartcountyparks #5medalsgathering #Reenactment #History #musket #Indiana #IndianaHistory #GoshenIndiana #Fall #FallLeaves #Waterfall #FallColors #Michiana #Shipshewana #ShipshewanaIndiana #bonneyvillemill #Dahlia #Flowers #Windmill #PureMichigan #Sunset #LakeDays #Reflection https://www.instagram.com/p/B303heNJSLx/?igshid=c77b8n9ycyjn

Map of Ohio & Indiana, circa 1830 Published in 1830 by D. F. Robinson & Co. In 1830, Cincinnati, Ohio was the 8th most populous city in the United States according to a U.S. Census taken that year — ahead of cities such as Washington DC (11th) and Brooklyn, NY (18th) — and would have been the largest city labeled on this map. It was during this time in history that a small, swappy trading post near Lake Michigan was incorporated as a town with a population of about 350. It was said that the native people had avoided this wetland due to it being useless for growing crops and that the land had an unpleasant smell to it. They called it “shikaakwa,” meaning “smelly onion.” Therefore, the land was cheap for purchasing by white settlers and fur traders. Deep within Miami-Illinois Indian Territory, D. F. Robinson accurately labeled the location of this small shire town by it’s new name — Chicago. #cincymapcollection #ohiohistory #indianahistory #cincinnatihistory #1830 #queencity #chicagohistory #cincinnati https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZEFpiDG7v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9py3guvt3op8
