The Hills of Home

Wilma Henry @HomewardBound (552) 6 May 21

Except for a couple of years in my early teens, I’ve spent all of my days in the hills of Kentucky. My daddy couldn’t make enough money here so he moved us to northern Indiana, got a factory job and we lived ‘high on the hog,’...

Smokies Schmokies!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86757) • United States 18 Jun 18

As I've mentioned a few thousand times, I love the Great Smoky Mountains. It's relatively close, it's gorgeous, and it provides everything I need for a "battery recharge." After this weekend, however, I'm inclined to say...

Anne ran across one other old photo from about 1899. Her third great grandfather was Charles L. Daughtry (her last name). She knew that he was in the Civil War but had somehow assumed he was in the Union army. He is at the front...
