Why I've always have avoided love; the world is not ready for the truth. Open up and get ready to be hurt. Goodbye beautiful. #fucklove #love #poetry

Entry #15 - The Larimore House Plantation
Back in 1850 Wilson Larimore purchased approximately 2,000 acres which he farmed using the new mechanical farming equipment of the time). Soon, the Larimore Plantation became renowned for its productivity and won many awards at the then popular agricultural fairs in and around St. Louis. The pre-civil war house was finished in 1858. The Larimores owned the plantation in St. Louis for 50 years. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Penningroth family purchased the plantation, sold off most of the land, and used it for a summer home for almost 100 years. In 1989, Saint Louis County put the house on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1996, the site was named a Landmark and Preservation Area by Saint Louis County.
In addition, this house is historically relevant because I was married there, marking the beginning of a new era for men my generation, and across national frontiers.

Entry #13 - CAHOKIA MOUNDS, Collinsville IL
A Thriving Ancient Metropolis According to archaeological finds, the city of Cahokia was inhabited from about A.D. 700 to 1400. At its peak, from A.D. 1050 to 1200, the city covered nearly six square miles and 10,000 to 20,000 people lived here. Over 120 mounds were built over time, and most of the mounds were enlarged several times. Houses were arranged in rows and around open plazas, and vast agricultural fields lay outside the city.
The site is named for the Cahokia subtribe of the Illiniwek (or Illinois tribe, a loose confederacy of related peoples), who moved into the area in the 1600s. They were living nearby when the French arrived about 1699. Sometime in the mid-1800s, local historians suggested the site be called "Cahokia" to honor these later arrivals.
Archaeological investigations and scientific tests, mostly since the 1920s and especially since the 1960s, have provided what is known of the once-thriving community.
The Mystery of Cahokia The fate of the prehistoric Cahokians and their city is unknown, but the decline seems to have been gradual, beginning around the 1200s. By A.D. 1400 the site had been abandoned. Exactly where the people went or what tribes they became is yet to be determined.
Depletion of resources probably contributed to the city's decline. Climate change after A.D. 1200 may have affected crop production and the plant and animal resources needed to sustain a large population. War, disease, social unrest, and declining political and economic power may have also taken their toll.
