continuous be used to serve more knew the mississippi river this was a spiritual renewal they'll flag it was huge my family came and they came to a tree we just got him as well in the book and with the camp there are a number of landowners to sell him accountable for waiting thirty years now and they sell most readily ma and also an hourly or so now when i was to fall and they've done the paper seller alienate mr andy ohio where mostly was a result of our road the first they wrote came to making matt takes about a roast and bring it to sew the west in far western kenya for milo wrote system went through part of that away so was rarely traveled in a lot of i guess high

contact from other areas manno several businesses they had a school the post office is still in use it a lot it would stop making your part in the stories that we know before the area was developed in the park they would ride the train from birmingham bring a picnic basket you know how often more than have a picnic here and then go back and catch the train in the evening a little solo it's a selma probably little bit before that was in its most earliest and a ten year old and just sit on an unknown by their male know i think that to what can get a reversal of philip hammond have a county government furniture quote un session involved in that well yes in fact my children three other grandparents were three of the final reportedly set of the government that was in nineteen

fifty and it was first hancock county then in nineteen fifty eight doubly vigilant changed the winston county in honor of our first navy mourn and his daughter kerry said on npr in the middle of private then the center can and now the fires that primarily because was a novelist his friend says why have a summit but the tuna roll was built now you first read about a rogue nation of those clothes were awesome but first late roads fifty years watching them build road all that came political on so that led the center of that the candidate had rowed services center and the fact is that of andrew jackson his man were some of the first white settlers say in a brutal year that's it

that's right but that talk and that it wasn't and look at the pulpit to render judgment on a book about conflict invasive andrew jackson a bit to one of the most like andrew jackson and a button next to embody not comment on anything about it with elsa is never all especially in nature now andrew jackson made an impression with it first off some of the folks that were here came with andrew jackson went on your longer than anyone to come up on stage you know a lot of the pickup only way down they join him when to come through but they had trouble roads until today and

saying elias often when i thought was i wanted to come back and then there was a lot of objects of people selling and this before very far assam and curtis on sobotka my sons were just before that making sixty to never give up the fight and jackson always that finished as the walking when i landed at a campaign and he said that from the first officer walk talk about this award the us it's not and i mean it was not legal dependents and we know we are believe ended that would only said they believe and remember bill would run for president and i just liked him abraham lincoln and he restated that was elected you've probably the slaves in the south call saul more disturbing he's the south for sale so they want to prevent oh wasn't

he did not believe in the uk human bondage in slavery so he ran on a platform that he would not under any circumstance support to the confederacy that he would stay within him keeping a lamppost at the end with less than a hundred year old at that time they were still felt very close to the show that if iran is very heated race for young fella want almost ache to the one though thank you you know one so sure enough elected on january the south all these delegates met in london the fact is that the first vote among them are the first ballot was forty six vote against leaving the union

fifty three for the confederacy only seventy votes separate the two greek but his politics is today it was the end the moneymaking side but again i am alone approximately a point of building an opposition that it's an impediment to them and to show for that time the confederacy with one by one the south had seceded and they allowed him to come here and build a pretty pretty upset landefeld play her only relative in jail for done exactly what they have sent him overnight with a vote against secession of that began to look what they might do to
