Driving down the road, a lineman is on a bucket truck fixing a telephone pole. This sparked a curiosity in my mind on how they do their job without getting hurt. Linemen work on, maintain, and build electrical power systems. The people working can be be electrocuted, blown-up, catch fire, fall off, and more. These people don’t get a lot of recognition in the news, but we would be lost without them. There are many different dangerous jobs, being a lineman is definitely one of them.

There were many appalling prison camps during the Civil War, but the most infamous was Andersonville. A shocking 13,000 people died in this camp(Bartels). Andersonville was run from February of 1864 until April of 1865. When the North found out about what happened at Andersonville, people were outraged.

Thousands prisoners died at Andersonville because of overpopulation, bad conditions, and the South not improving conditions.

The word “Croatoan” remains a mystery amongst scientists and archeologists today. The lost colony of Roanoke has developed many ideas and questions of the settlers’ location.

Struggles with family relations. Bullying. Inconformity. All of these are reasons that, at the early age of 16, Rod Dreher, the author of The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, left his home in St. Francisville to pursue his own aspirations, to escape his tormented childhood. However, years later, after having built up a life outside of Starhill, Rod moves back to his old hometown; this happens not because the town, the people, or the social order changed in any manor, but because Rod developed a new perspective on the entirety of that which was St. Francisville, Louisiana.
