[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 985618, member: 3162"] Every one was a joy to read. When I was a kid I used to have out in the domino halls and listen to the old men. I have some written accounts of things that are a treasure. One is a story about my maternal gggrandad. After the civil war they were migrating. They landed in a spot in northern Louisiana for a piece and hung there while one of the women gave birth. Each night the posted sentinel would get bushwhacked. All his gear and rucksack would be taken. So my gggrandad told everyone to stay at the tents and no one move until daylight and he would take watch. Just before daylight he fired off a shot. Everyone came running. "What'd ya shoot?" He told them, "Just an old hog rooting over yonder." They went to retrieve the hog and it was an indian under a fur. The old indian would crawl along and root in the ground with a knife. When he got close enough he had been jumping the sentinel and taking all of his goods each night. [/QUOTE]
