Books Read By Anne Frank

2 outta 5 Kyians can't read, according to a 1999 Paul Patton Task Force commission report. “44% of Kentuckians struggle with minimal literacy skills, and 37% of the Kentuckians age 25 and older do not have a high school diploma.” http://www.lrc.ky.gov/lrcpubs/rr296.pdf But hey, Kentucky, don't lose heart. Just look at the good side. If 44% of Kentuckians CAN'T read, then that means that 56% of Kentuckians CAN read, so let's look at the positive side. Here's Wendy, a Kentuckian, from Letcher County, who I met the other day:  Many Kentuckians, especially the backwards, racist, and illiterate, love to fuck up their words as bad as they possibly can. “Taters” isn't only stupid... it's childish.

D&B Genesis of Kentucky, Vol. 1: Chapter 6

The Roaring 1700s (The 18 th Century) 1700AD. The Half-King of the Catawba Tribe is Born. Little is known of TANACHARISON Tanacharison's early life. He probably was born into the CATAWBA Catawba tribe about 1700 near what is now Buffalo, New York. As a child, he was taken captive by the French and later adopted into the Seneca tribe, one of the 5 Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Tanacharison said the French boiled and ate his father. His early years were spent on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie in what is now western New York State.
