#ICYMI This nugget of history from 1943 (not 1934).
I love history ☺️ There’s something so intriguing about seeing how humans repeat. I even coined a phrase 20 years ago, “same bullsh1t, different backdrop.”™️

PIC OF THE DAY!
In the early 20th century, Prescott was considered to have the perfect climate for victims of tuberculosis. Here is a postcard advertisement showing one of the patient bungalows at "Pamsetgaaf". Notice the view of Thumb Butte.

Chief Joseph Famous Quotes: "I have carried a heavy load on my back ever since / was a boy. I realized then that we could not hold our own with the white men. We were like deer. They were like grizzly bears. We had small country. Their country was large. We were contented to let things remain as the Great Spirit Chief made them. They were not, and would change the rivers and mountains if they did not suit them." "All men were made brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born free should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases." "Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, At Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are - perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands / will fight no more forever. "
CHIEF JOSEPH AND FAMILY This photograph is historically significant and has great human interest as well. It may be the only copy in existence of F. M. Sargent's cabinet card of Nez Perce Chief Joseph and his family in Leavenworth where they were exiled from 1877 to 1885. Chief Joseph and his band of Nez was Perce lived peacefully in the Wallowa Valley of Eastern Oregon until 1877 when the U.S. government decided to move the band to a small reservation in Idaho. When General O.O. Howard threatened a cavalry attack, a few dissatisfied warriors raided a settlement and killed several people. Fearing retaliation, Joseph fled with his band of 700 men, women and children in a retreat towards Canada that covered 1400 miles. They finally gave up 40 miles from the Canadian border where Joseph uttered the famous words "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Curator's statement: Look into Chief Josephs's face. What was he thinking and feeling at that moment? I believe this photograph is one of the most revealing portraits in our collection. You can see great dignity, pride, intelligence, and sadness in Joseph's face and body language as well as tension, and perhaps some anger. - Elaine Miller, Washington State History Museum
MAP OF NEZ PERCE LANDS Original Nez Perce territory (green) and the reduced reservation of 1863 (brown) One of the last tribes to surrender to U.S. authorities were the Nez Perce. Led by Chief Joseph, they refused to surrender there in the Northwestern region of the United States. Prolonged fighting, known as the Nez Perce War, erupted across the region. The skill with which the Nez Perce fought, and the manner in which they conducted themselves in the face of incredible adversity, earned them widespread admiration from their military opponents and the American public. Chief Joseph, and his exploits, became popular reading in American newspapers. Chief Joseph is one of the most quoted native leaders from the time period, and he is revered for his passionate, principled resistance to his tribe's forced removal. As his legend grew, Chief Joseph became renowned as both a humanitarian and a peacemaker. His resistance eventually ended, when 800 Nez Perce men, women, and children were captured in Montana as they approached the Canadian border. As he surrendered, Chief Joseph delivered an eloquent speech that served as an epitaph to Native American efforts to withstand the western settlement. "I am tired of fighting our chiefs are killed... the old men are dead... I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find... Hear me my chiefs! I am tired, my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever."

#hisory lesson from Heather Cox Richardson that brings us up to where we are in this moment.
Final paragraph hits hard.
Text Shot: In 1936, Dorothy Thompson observed in her newspaper column that “dictatorships often have quite different interpretations of words from liberal democracies. . . . In the dictionary of democracies,” for example, “peace is a desirably permanent condition of amicable relations with other nations. In the dictionary of dictatorships peace means: a quiet undisturbed period in which to prepare for war . . ."
