O'Fallon gave himself the title of colonel, which his contemporaries embraced. He was a significant and active member of Missouri's slave-owning community, according to a study on slavery by Washington University in St. Louis. The study reveals that O’Fallon enslaved more than 77 people, according to census data collected from 1830 to 1860.He fought in the Indian Wars and the War of 1812. O'Fallon helped his uncle relocate Native Americans east of the Mississippi River when President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. Is ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’ a Christmas movie?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:49:31 GMT

By PAT GRAHAM (AP Sports Writer)FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Isaiah Stevens had 18 points to move closer to taking over as the program’s all-time leading scorer and No. 17 Colorado State shook off a sluggish start to roll past Division II CSU-Pueblo 86-54 on Sunday night.The Rams (10-1) returned to the court eight days after a 64-61 home loss to Saint Mary’s. They looked a touch lethargic early on but quickly found their rhythm, using a 20-2 run midway through the first half to break free of CSU-Pueblo.“It wasn’t a work of art,” Colorado State coach Niko Medved said. “But we also did some good things.” Stevens’ smooth shooting moved him 14 points away from breaking the school’s scoring mark on the men’s side held by Pat Durham, who amassed 1,980 points from 1985-89. Basketball Hall of Famer Becky Hammon has Colorado State’s all-time career record of 2,740 points.“The thing about (Stevens) is he appreciates t...

Warriors notebook: Klay Thompson is stepping up after crunch time benching

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:49:31 GMT

PORTLAND — Even in in complete frustration over his crunch time benching in Phoenix, Klay Thompson couldn’t ignore the truth: His bad shot choices made him a liability with the game on the line.That day was the first time Thompson sat out for a deciding stretch in the fourth quarter, coach Steve Kerr opting to play rookie Brandin Podziemski in his place. Since then, Thompson has been on a mission to stay off that bench.Heading into Sunday’s game in Portland, Thompson had 54 points over the Warriors’ two games against the Los Angeles Clippers and Brooklyn Nets. He’s 11-for-21 from 3 over that span, not forcing heat checks in transition or chucking early in the shot clock as he was previously.His 30 points in a loss to the Clippers was a season high; he strung together 24 points in a win against the Nets in chorus with a Steph Curry fourth-quarter flurry that turned back the clock to the Splash Brothers heyday. That includes some quintessentially-Klay off...
