...Pulaski’s Tunnel One of the biggest national incidents is the fire of 1910. The book The Big Burn by Timothy Egan tells about this event. Total fires burned more than three million acres and almost hundred people were killed. This historical event has historical names and one of them is Edward Pulaski. There is the man whose heroism saved forty-fife human lives; he found a safety place in extreme situation, he took charge and helped his group survive and he sacrifice himself to save others. First, Ed Pulaski did not panic in extreme situation and used his knowledge of the area to hide from the fire. He was a forest ranger and on that day he went to the town for fresh supplies. On the way back he and his group where completely surrounded by the wild fire. There was no place to run. He did not panic and found the solution by using his knowledge of the forest. He decided to hide in the tunnel. Second, he took control of the situation and stopped panic. In the tunnel that was difficult to breath and people were scared and in panic. He ordered them to law down on the ground and stopped people who tried to leave because there was no other place to run outside the tunnel. Also, he realized that the fire would burn wood tunnel support and he found the way by carrying water in his hat. Third, he was responsible for his men and took big risk to his personal safety.

...On September 6th, 2015, I visited Fort Pulaski during Living History Day. Fort Pulaski is located on Cockspur Island just off of Highway 80, approximately 15 minutes away from Savannah State. Cockspur Island is located at the mouth of the Savannah River, a tactical location that allowed the fort to oversee any ship attempting to enter the port of Savannah. The island’s only known human inhabitants have been the fort’s builders, care takers, and Civil War soldiers. The island is home to a variety of salt water marsh creatures such as alligators, crabs and birds. The fort and museum are maintained by the National Parks Service. The museum’s mission is to educate visitors on the significance of the fort’s involvement in the Civil War and Underground...

...The Seize of Fort Pulaski Constructed with twenty-five million bricks Fort Pulaski stands tall and heavily guarded with twenty 32-pounder navel guns. Fort Pulaski is located on Cockspur Island in Chatham County, Georgia. Pulaski started being built in 1829 and was finished in 1874. In Fort Pulaski and the defense of Savannah it states that “Forts such as Pulaski had two missions- to prevent the passage of ships and to resist attacks.” The past of Pulaski was rough, preparing took months, and the first and second days were brutal. So what happened when the federals attack? Will fort Pulaski rise to the challenge or be brought down? (Schiller, 1997) Pulaski’s Past Savannah is greeted with celebration on December 20, 1860 when South Carolina seceded from the north. However, six nights later slipped into Fort Sumter. Georgians outraged and planned to seize Fort Pulaski. They did this to protect the fort so federals couldn’t take it over and control the port. In January men marched into the fort and doing so...

...Fort Pulaski, located on Cockspur Island just outside of Historic Savannah, Georgia, stands as a reminder of a turning point in military history. With the War of 1812 in mind, The United States government arranged for defense of major ports on the nation’s coast against invasion. The construction of Fort Pulaski was a component of east coast fortifications because it defended Savannah’s port, an economy-sustaining port. Officials saw the importance of Savannah’s port and the necessity for a fort overlooking its harbors. Today, Fort Pulaski stands as a tourist attraction and is a reminder of the failures of the Confederacy defense of Savannah. Named after the American Revolution war Hero, Count Casimir Pulaski, construction on the fort started in 1829. A ‘cockspur’ is a plant with long, nasty thorns amed for the extensive effort that was put into construction. The chosen location of the fort is intriguing considering that Cockspur Island is a swampy landmass barely harder than a reef and separates the Savannah River into a respective North Channel and South...

...The talk around Pulaski County these days is the wet/dry vote. You can vote on June 26, 2012 (Harris) to help decide whether Pulaski County should sale alcohol. This is a big debate for the county for the many that approve there are just as many that disapprove. If the vote is wet, this could mean something really good for the city of Somerset and well as Pulaski County. The unemployment rates have proven to be lower in wet counties than in dry counties (Labor Force Statistics (LAUS - Unemployment Rates)). If the county has alcohol sales, bigger restaurants will want to relocate to that county creating jobs for the locals that would pay more than minimum wage. Not only would they have booming sales from the county, residence from neighboring counties would drive there to buy alcohol. Everyone would benefit from sales of alcohol. County | Wet/Dry/Moist | Unemployment Rate | Franklin | Wet | 8.9 | McCracken | Wet | 9.1 | Carter | Dry | 12.4 | Knox | Dry | 11.8 | Pike | Moist | 11.3 | Pulaski | Moist | 15 | As you can see in the chart above that Carter and Knox counties, which are dry counties, have about the same rate of unemployment as the moist counties of Pike and Pulaski. The wet counties, Franklin and McCracken have the lowest unemployment rate. As you can see the dry counties have a smaller population that the moist and wet counties. Therefore; the larger population of counties prefer sale of alcohol, which creates more jobs so the unemployment rate goes...

...5.1 Situation Analysis This small-town distribution firm was created by James Brunswick, after his employment as a senior logistics officer of a larger-size freight company operating out of Chicago and distributing to seven states. He began this company with only his two college buddies in his grandmothers shed, and with a single loan from the bank, he was on his way to success. Once business began to increase, James decided to relocate to a bigger building, on the outside of the town. Brunswick Distribution implements resale strategies, to get products from manufacturer to retailers on time and efficiently. Simply put, they are classified as single distributors. While BDI is a rather diminutive distribution firm, their customer base spans from all over their local environment. With a focus on quality and efficiency, in and around the tiny town of Moline; however, it still isn’t as little as the shed they began BDI in, for their first nine months of service. (Even without a strategic game plan, they were dedicated to making the company work, and would do whatever it took to ensure that it did.) After the first relocation, Brunswick decided on an additional step, which was a milestone, to say the least. He signed a contract with Kitchen-Aid. Located not far, just 35 miles outside Moline and specializing in high-end kitchen appliances, they signed the agreement in 1992. By the end of 2000, BDI had almost doubled in the area of 10,000 square foot building capacity...
