Jeez, and I thought Virginians were hard-headed and ornry
...I guess you can take the boy out of Tennessee...FWIW, my
part of Frankin Co Tenn has enough coves and caves to keep
you soft *valley* boys lost for years<g> And yes, Tennessee
does have the sad and dubious distinction of birthing the
KKK thanks to our own Nathan Bedford Forrest. Fortunately,
Franklin County's two most famous former citizens are a bit
more civilized: Polly Crockett (wife of Davy) and Dinah
Shore.
