CBS Sunday Morning on October 31, 2010.
Next week on Sunday Morning: animal attraction.
Moment of nature (spiriva): eastern Ohio. Pina Toomey (?) reservoir. [IPBiz guesses this was about Lake Pina in Columbiana County, Ohio. ] Lisbon is the county seat of Columbiana County, and has Civil War significance. From wikipedia: Lisbon has the distinction of being the northernmost western town involving military actions during the American Civil War. Confederate cavalry officer John Hunt Morgan surrendered to Union forces near here at the end of his raid into Indiana and Ohio. [Notice the qualification about northernmost WESTERN town.] Wikipedia also notes: The St. Albans Raid was the northernmost land action of the American Civil War, taking place in St. Albans, Vermont on October 19, 1864. And note the coincidence: Bennett H. Young led Confederate States Army forces in the St. Alban's Raid. Young had become a prisoner of war after the Battle of Salineville in Ohio ended Morgan's Raid the year before.
