The Kohler Riverbend Estate is an historic property located in Kohler, Wisconsin. It was built in 1922–1923 By Walter J. Kohler, Sr., then governor of Wisconsin and president of the Kohler Company. It was reported to cost in excess of $1,000,000 to construct (equivalent to $13,900,000in 2016).
History
Kohler commissioned architect Richard Philipp, of the Milwaukee firm of Brust & Philipp, to design the house. Phillip had previously designed a house for Walter's father, John Michael Kohler. Phillip had also previously worked on the Kohler Village for Walter Kohler, designing most of the new structures built from 1916 through the mid-1920s. Kohler commissioned the Olmsted Brothers, well known for creating Central Park in New York City and the Harvard and Stanford campuses, to design the grounds of the estate.
The grounds were landscaped in the English tradition to accentuate the natural beauty of the site that captivated Walter and his wife Charlotte. The design of the house and grounds was inspired during trips that they made to Great Britain and Europe.
Riverbend is the pseudonymous author of the blogBaghdad Burning, launched August 17, 2003. Riverbend's existence and identity remain a mystery, but the weblog entries suggest that she is a young Iraqi woman from a mixed Shia and Sunni family, living with her parents and brother in Baghdad. Before the United Statesoccupation of Iraq she was a computer programmer. She writes in an idiomaticEnglish with, as James Ridgeway notes in the introduction to the Feminist Press edition of her work, "a slight American inflection." The blog combines political statements with a large dose of Iraqi cultural information, such as the celebration of Ramadhan and examples of Iraqi cuisine. In March 2006, her website received the Bloggie award for Best Middle East and Africa blog.
On 26 April 2007 Riverbend announced that she and her family would be leaving Iraq, owing to the lack of security in Baghdad and the ongoing violence there. On September 6, 2007 she reported that she has arrived safely in Syria.

Riverbend (1989) | Vietnam Soldier Teaches Blacks To Fight Back
The fist starring role for martial artist and perennial sidekick Steve James (Delta Force, American Ninja, I'm Gonna Git u Sucka) essentially went straight to video in 1990, but still holds its power 30 years later. Sam Firstenberg's direction, a tight script and strong performances make it a must-see. One critic likened it to Mississippi Burning meets Walking Tall. For me, it’s The Spook Who Sat Next To The Door Goes South.

LYRICS 🎤🎶
What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend?
Waiting just around the riverbend
I look once more just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for what I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend for me, coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming?
For a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
