And Minnesota is pretty much the same as over there.

But what they did is they would homestead their property, but the government would have set aside land, like 40-acre parcels where people that were settling could go and hunt, fish, cut down wood, whatever they needed in this set-aside land.

So in the 1860s,

That 40-acre parcel that he would eventually purchase started off as this set-aside land, and they clear-cut it.

So the first trees that grew back were typically aspen trees.

And so the tree that he...

um you know tipped over um was an aspen tree that had you know was the first trees to grow back and it was you know 25 to 30 years old goes back to when it was clear cut so that's consistent um

And that, like I said, was before he immigrated there.

So that's an interesting detail.

But anyway, so the history of this thing just goes on.

And people made claims.

And it all goes back to the academics really not being –

ethical enough, frankly, to admit that they didn't know what they were looking at.

And that's okay.

It really is okay.

Because I've studied the history of the investigations and I know exactly what happened.

So what happened?

They effed it up.

They pooched it and they accused, you know, he was found it.

He was, they just assumed he did it.
