fort slocum. he peers and he senses the moment of opportunity to change the course of the war, my career, american history, and the future of the confederacy. right then and there. can you imagine that career opportunity for any of us? not robert e lee, ulysses s. grant. jubal early. never heard of him. soldiers know him. the enemy was going to know about him. he turns to bring up his army and there is no army because of the heat and the dust and they are straggling all the way to gaithersburg. would we have pressed that issue? all of you folks who are leaders, here is your moment. would you have pushed the momentum and found something more than a corporal's guard to go through? jubal early does not. maybe he was tired. he hated the yankees. but he could not push forward. what does he do? what most of us would have done. he retires to silver spring, a a sylvan mansion, and the rum cellar, and he loses the initiative. here at fort stevens. the next day, abraham lincoln, the consummate adolescent, h

slocum was described as a certain rough, rude, and bullying man. and he possessed the same characteristics as his bulldog, or vice versa. the two terrorized a small community in illinois and one day a neighbor came up with a plan. lincoln said, seeing slocum plodding along the road one day, his dog a little ahead, this neighbor took from his pocket a chunk of meat in which he had concealed a big charge of powder to which he had fastened a deadwood slow match. after the match had been lit, the neighbor threw the chunk of meat onto the road. the bulldog saw the meat, licked his lips, and gave one big gulp of it. after enjoying the morsel of meat the dog took a few joyous steps forward and then suddenly blew up into fragments. a four quarter lodging in the neighbor's tree. a hind quarter on the roof of a cabin. his head in one place, his tail in another, and the rest of the dog scattered all along the dusty road. when the dog's master slocum came to view the remains of his beloved bulldog, he cried out, bill was a good dog, but as a dog i reckon his u

the director indirect result of fracking you've got variables going sixteen ways to sunday tyson slocum why is it that this is not you know i know josh. i'm forgetting josh fox came out with you know gas land a couple of years ago i mean this is been kind of floating around the edge of the environmental movement and people who are living in gas country but it really hasn't it's only starting it seems to get some traction at the national level in terms of of press and public safety why is that wife and first because a lot of the opposition to fracking has revolved more around issues of water contamination and wallet water quality issues air quality issues and quality of life concerns around writing him being right exactly not so much fracking and as the professor pointed out most of the seismic activity has been around these waste wells and not necessarily around the active fracking oil and gas sites but you have seen a lot of news in the states that are affected i mean california has already banned several waste wells as they are can solve in direct response to what they confirmed was s

slocum, here again, this is all farmland. the u.s. colored infantry was there. nco's were african-american. today there is nothing left of the defenses, but there is a great heart and i think interpreting it, having a canon there, and having a ranger give a talk, this is part of the fort circle drive land that was never built on. along the side, it makes a lovely boulevard. derussy is so beautiful. you come up to oregon avenue and you pull off. it is very easy to find. , theyis this huge tree think it was there during the battle. off,imes when they got cut they grew back. it is about 150 years old. they are massive. you can go all the way around. and some hiking trails. just a terrific park. again, fort reno is the highest point in d.c. and they had this tower. so they can see the confederates coming and a new, we were in trouble. similarly when jubal early thatd at fort reno he said is well fortified and it is high and big and strong. then he came onto georgian avenue to fort stevens. and here is the modern fort reno. even though there is nothing left of the de

. >>> crouching behind collier's white pickup truck, officer slocum clutches his neck, a reaction caused by the head injury. as he provides cover, the wounded officer tries to run across the street. but slocumb veers to the right losing balance and collapsing into a chain link fence. mcfarland, knowing every second counts, runs across the street to get to his partner, putting himself directly in the cross hairs of collier's rifle. >> it's a chance i've got to take. >> he must holster his gun in order to pick up the officer, leaving himself defenseless. >> he decided to do a dummy drag. he picked up his partner from underneath the arms and pulled him right out of the road. two residents that were standing by saw that, they ran out there and they heroically helped save the officer. >> slocum needs immediate medical attention. the officers are on the side of the dead end with no outlet. police decide it's too risky for ems to cross in front of collier's home with the shooter still active. as slocumb moans in pain, one of the residents who helped carry him to safety, david lemke, officers a
