# Marshall (Texas)

Marshall is a city in the Central Piney Woods of Texas. This is the third-largest city in this region.

## Understand

Marshall attracted people early on because of its position along a stage line and later the Texas and Pacific Railroad, plus reserves of oil that were eventually tapped. It was a city of grandeur and firsts at times, being the "Athens of Texas" with multiple colleges, the seat of the richest county by 1860, and the first Texan city to have telegraph service. But it was also bad news in a way, because, perhaps in alignment with its strong Confederate allegiance, it held the designation of being the Texas town with the most lynchings after the Civil War, and just a miserable place in general insofar as disenfranchisement goes.
Nowadays, Marshall has captured a sense of acclaim with its Winter Wonderland and attestation of being the Birthplace of Boogie Woogie.

# Nurabad

There is more than one place called Nurabad:

### Iran

* Nurabad (Lorestan)
* Nurabad (Fars)
# Nuristan

Nuristan is in the northeast part of Afghanistan.

## Understand

Nuristan is one of the most remote areas on Earth, right up in the Hindu Kush mountains. The area used to be called Kafiristan, land of unbelievers, until it was converted to Islam at swordpoint in the late 19th century and became known as Nuristan, land of light.
Kipling wrote of it in The Man Who Would be King. In his day, no Europeans had been there. John Huston made a film based on the book, with Sean Connery and Michael Caine in lead roles. It is a fine movie and the geography is about right, but the culture is more from Kipling's imagination than anything related to the actual place.
A wonderful book about the area is Eric Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, long out of print but worth hunting for. When Newby and a friend visited Nuristan in the 1950s, they were the second or third European expedition ever to reach it.

## Talk

There are several Nuristani languages and some locals speak one or both of the country's main languages, Dari and Pashto.
* kashi – how are you
* lesem – fine
* ow – water
* boodi – bread
* korangi – where are you going
