The 12 Days Of "Winter":)

"The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment."
--George Washington, Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association of Ireland, 1783

Rebel Railroad

"Rebel Railroad was the beginning of the theme park which is now the disaster known as Dollywood. Rebel Railroad was a Confederate themed park centering on the train ride which carried passengers into the hills where they would be ambushed by Yankees and the Confederates would charge in and drive them off. Unlike most parks, the train was a real full scale steam engine burning coal and pulling the guests on a trip in the woods and hills outside the main park."
