Killers of the Flower Moon

On our way to OKC, we drove through Osage County to Pawhuska and stopped at the Osage Nation Museum, mentioned in the book.

Saw the photo with William Hale likeness removed. 

At the same site, the Osage Veterans Memorial was just unveiled on November 11th, Verterans Day. 

Also drove though Bartlesville (which we had never heard of) and found huge facilities of ConocoPhillips oil.  This part of OK is definitely oil country. Lots of pumping wells. 

Santiago de Cuba

Santiago de Cuba is the second largest city in Cuba and was it’s original capitol. It is considered the birthplace of the revolution. On July 26, 1953, Fidel Castro and his ragtag group of 100 or so men attacked. Within 10 minutes, they fled or were captured or killed. Castro went into the mountains, and it wasn’t until late in 1958 when he led the final offensive. 

He is buried in Santiago in the same cemetery as Jose Martí. Martí is the most celebrated Cuban for his role in the Cuban independence from Spain.
