Mann's Lick was 3rd saltmine in Kentucky in 1787. The salt river region supplied salt for tri-state area by the 1800's.
The US began expanding westward after the Revolutionary War. Kentucky pioneers forged through wildlife to expand its new society. Search and expansion led to the clearing of land and eventually the trading of Kentucky salt, to Tennessee, Virginia, and Illinois.
Closing the circle: Why Denver donates buffalo to indigenous tribes
(Denver, Colo.) In March, Denver donated 33 bison to three Tribal Nations as part of an ongoing effort to restore bison populations on indigenous lands. Of the 33 bison, 17 went to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma, and 15 bison headed to the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming. The city donated one bison to the Tall Bull Memorial Council in Colorado. Last year, Denver donated 13 bison to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and one to the Tall Bull Memorial Council.

Bills Caved To Josh Allen & Promoted Ken Dorsey: Is That Why They Hired Joe Brady?
The Buffalo Bills caved to their quarterback Josh Allen, and promoted Ken Dorsey to be their new offensive coordinator. However, Buffalo hired former Carolina Panthers quarterback Joe Brady to be their new quarterback coach. Clearly Buffalo has a plan, and if I were to guess, Dorsey is going to be on a very short leash.

Josh Allen Threw Three Interceptions. He Still Got The Job Done. Isn’t That What Matters?
The Buffalo Bills beat the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday 29-15, but it had nothing to do with Josh Allen’s arm. It’s also believed that Allen tanked any chance he had at possibly winning the MVP. Allen has one of the most prolific arms in the NFL. If you told me prior to the game that Allen was going to complete 11 passes, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions, I would have said you were crazy. But that’s exactly what happened. Allen went 11/26 - 0 TD’s - 3 INT’s. Josh did get it done on the ground though. Allen ran the ball 15 times for 81 yards, he averaged 5.4 yards per carry, and scored a couple of touchdowns. Isn’t that good enough? Shouldn’t people be okay with that performance? There is a lot of outcry in Buffalo for the team and the city to build a dome. I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure what the entire argument is, but I’ve heard that some people believe Allen isn’t a great bad weather quarterback. If that’s the truth, that is concerning, but I don’t know how true that is.
