This is a true tale of Indian removal\, crime\, capital punishment and a charismatic federal judge who sentenced scores of felons to “hang by the neck until you are dead.” Outlaw gangs hid from the law in lands given to native people\, until Indian Territory was taken away and turned back to settlers.

With careful and honest detail to the words and visual history of the era\, we re-create Patterson’s interview with Judge Isaac Parker\, the infamous “hanging Judge\,” conducted on the date (September 1\, 1896) Parker’s court was stripped by Congress of its jurisdiction over Indian Territory. Parker\, who was dying of kidney disease\, tells Patterson a gripping tale of his court\, and his view of American Indians: “Twenty-one year’s experience has taught me they are a religiously inclined\, law-abiding\, authority-respecting people\,” and of the “brutes” who stood trial before his bench. “ URL:https://vanburen.org/event/movie-the-koh-indians-outlaws-marshalls-and-the-hangin-judge/ LOCATION:AR END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230706T000000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230706T000000 DTSTAMP:20260422T005015 CREATED:20240326T151624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240326T151624Z UID:10000308-1688601600-1688601600@vanburen.org SUMMARY:TYRUS LIVE ONE NIGHT ONLY @ KOH DESCRIPTION:Fox News Channel Contributor\, Comedian\, NWA Wrestling Superstar\, and Bestselling Author\, Tyrus\, takes the stage LIVE and in-person.\nYou see him on TV daily on The Gutfeld Show\, The Five\, The Big Saturday and Sunday show and now is your chance to spend an intimate evening listening to him discuss current events with his “no-nonsense” approach to life in his very own heartfelt and comical way. \nTyrus has a unique perspective on life and the issues facing the world today.

The consensus among historians is that the greatest popular music of all time was created during this ten-year period. Unquestionably\, the music defined a generation and continues to be embraced by younger generations. For example\, The Beatles sold approximately 70 million albums between 1963-69\, but have since sold over 2.3 billion albums.\nThe Remnants of Rock is composed of original band members that started out together in 1968\, with the addition of the current keyboard player. The band’s goal is to successfully recreate the music of the 1960s as authentically as possible. Imagine walking into the student union for the homecoming dance on any college campus during the years 1965-1969 and hearing the best dance band you’ve ever heard! Close your eyes and think back\, because this is the performance The Remnants will deliver. The band plays only the top hits from 1959-1969 – which is often called the sweet spot of the era.
