Tom Evans asked me where he coud find the article about the poor folks who lost their ancestral lands when LBL was created. I have it included in my Turkey Bay web page, so I'll post a link below.
Check out the section called "The People Between the Rivers." It is certainly a sad story, and it's hard to believe things like this happen in America, and not really all that long ago, either.
