Today in History: September 28
On Saturday, September 28, 1912, Handy's "Mister Crump," retitled " Memphis Blues ," went on sale at Bry's Department Store in Memphis.

Interior Activity & Accomplishments
- A $562,500 grant helped acquire a large tract of land along the Cumberland Plateau stream gorge that harbors populations and habitat for the threatened Virginia spiraea, large-flowered skullcap, and bald eagle. The parcel will connect to an even larger area of conservation lands, including a Forest Legacy project area and the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Natural Area. The acquisition encompasses approximately 1,500 acres of privately owned timber land that has been protected voluntarily as a Registered State Natural Area. In 2001, a total of 321 plants was found in two populations of large-flowered skullcap. In 2002, a total of 1,005 plants was found in four populations. Placing this property in public ownership will help the Fish and Wildlife Service reach its recovery goals and will likely contribute to the future delisting of this plant. ... [Read More]
