On this day in 1492, Christopher Columbus noted in his journal the use of tobacco by Indians, the first recorded reference to tobacco.
- He later noted that they’d been smoking “Pocahontas Slims”.
Have a great day… and don’t forget my new “Best of Purtan - Vol. 10” CD will be available starting next Monday, November 21st at Amazon.com! It features 40 of my favorite bits from the last few years before I retired and proceeds benefit two great military charities: “Operation Homefront Michigan” and “Honor Flight Michigan - The Legacy Project”. To read more about these two outstanding organizations and a special event coming up to celebrate their important works and the release of my CD, click on the following links: Operation Homefront Michigan and Honor Flight Michigan.
See you back here Wednesday!
