Paint Rock TN
the yellow lichen on the surface of the
rock that I work with here appears to be a Pleopsidium … some yellow lichens are used with treatment with jaundice and alcohol related liver diseases...
"Lichens have been nicknamed "natures
pioneer" because they can colonize bare rock and are usually first to
establish on newly exposed surfaces. Some even have the capability to speed up
the weathering process by producing an acid that breaks down rocks and helps
form soil. Soil formation is extremely slow and takes not decades but centuries
for the rocky substrate to breakdown. The rocks and minerals where they make
their home vary in texture, chemical composition, and water holding
capacity.The park is comprised mostly of metamorphic and granite rocks. The
rock lichens you find here are often adapted to colonization on these types of
rocks."
Pleopsidium is typically found on the surface
of vertical rocks.

Sequoyah and the Cherokee Syllabar...
..."Although the system was foolproof and easy to learn, Sequoyah and A-Yo-Ka were charged with witchcraft, and were brought before George Lowery, their town chief, for trial. Due to a Cherokee law enacted in 1811, it was mandated to have a civil trial before an execution was allowed to take place. Lowery brought in a group of warriors to judge what was termed a "sorcery trial." For evidence of the literacy claims, the warriors separated Sequoyah and his daughter to have them send messages between each other until they were finally convinced that the symbols on paper really represented talking.
At the end of the trial, the warriors asked Sequoyah to teach them this new skill. Within a week, all were able to read and write their own language. The warriors are known historically as a fierce group of Cherokees and with their protection and patronage, literacy spread quickly throughout the Cherokee Nation.
Within a very few months, a large part of the Nation had achieved literacy. This gift benefited not only the teachers and missionaries, but helped preserve history, culture and spiritual practices. Dr. Samuel Worcester urged that type and a press be furnished to his mission so that scriptures could be translated into the native language, and the press evolved into a business which produced a newspaper, hymn books, hand bills and most other printing needs."... ...

Knoxville TN
"The first people to form substantial settlements in what is now Knoxville arrived during the Woodland period (c. 1000 B.C. – A.D 1000). One of the oldest artificial structures in Knoxville is a burial mound constructed during the early Mississippian culture period (c. A.D. 1000-1400). The earthwork mound is now surrounded by the University of Tennessee campus. Other prehistoric sites include an Early Woodland habitation area at the confluence of the Tennessee River and Knob Creek (near the Knox-Blount county line), and Dallas Phase Mississippian villages at Post Oak Island (also along the river near the Knox-Blount line), and at Bussell Island (at the mouth of the Little Tennessee River near Lenoir City"
