Billy this is wonderful Thank You very much for sharing all this with us. Sandra >Houston County Researchers: > >Over the past 10 days (31 March to 9 April 2000), I have posted 15 >portions of chapters from a book I have been compiling since 1997, >entitled: EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF HOUSTON COUNTY, GEORGIA 1821-1871: >Copyright 2000 by William A.

Even if you can't >recognize any of the names, you now have a greater understanding of what >life was like in the "good old days".
