FORT SMITH, Ark. The U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith is helping the community celebrate Earth Day with multiple events throughout the day.
Events started at 8:00 a.m. will go until 5:00 p.m. today.
One of the things they did to celebrate was hand out seedlings for people to plant in their garden at home.
Taylor Markham was excited to come out to the museum today.
FORT SMITH, Ark. â The deadliest day in U.S. Marshal Service history took place April 15, 1872, near the town of Christie in Adair County, which was located in the Cherokee Nationâs Goingsnake District.
The gunfight between a marshal posse and CN citizens took place at a schoolhouse being used as a courthouse to try the case of CN citizen Ezekial âZekeâ Proctor.Â
âThis is definitely one of the stories the museum wants to tellâ¦not just from the marshalâs side of it but from the Cherokee Nationâs side of it because we really want to find the whats and whys and hows, and thereâs a reason we refer to this as âThe Tragedy of Goingsnakeâ and not âThe Goingsnake Massacre,â David Kennedy, U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith curator, said. âThis was the bloodiest gunfight that ever took place in the American west that the military wasnât involved in.â

GOP doesn t need to engage in every cultural battle : Arkansas governor
On Location: April 7, 2021
Replay Video UP NEXT Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a staunch, longtime conservative, said Wednesday that amid the GOP-led culture wars, Republicans had veered from their principle of limited government and that the GOP doesn t need to engage in every cultural battle. This week, the governor found himself at odds with his state’s legislature over its House Bill 1570, which bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. On Monday, Hutchinson vetoed the bill but correctly predicted the legislature would override his decision, which happened the following day.
