Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.

The Massacre at Ywahoo Falls is alleged to have occurred on Friday, August 10, 1810, at Yahoo Falls, now in the Daniel Boone National Forest in southeast Kentucky, in which women and children of the Cherokee were supposedly massacred. The primary source of the story is "The Great Cherokee Children Massacre at Ywahoo Falls", written by Dan Troxell. The story is also mentioned in the 1999 book, Hiking the Big South Fork, which gives Troxell as its source. Eventually the tale caught the attention of Dr. Kenneth Tankersley of the Native American Studies program at Northern Kentucky University who wrote an article called "Yahoo Falls Massacre, McCreary County, Kentucky" in the mid-2000s, though the only references he supplies directly related to the story of the massacre itself are oral interviews with members of the Troxell family.
