Well, I'll be. All those years I grew up digging those things out of the creek banks I too thought they were crawdads. I realize that was not the "official" name for them but that's all anyone ever called them back then. I didn't know there was such a thing as crawfish until I went to New Orleans and Savannah. Referring to the Natives that lived in the Dawson Springs area... does anyone know what tribe they were? I know that ancient Indians lived in KY in permanent villages but I was taught in school that the "dark and bloody ground" was frequented by different nomad tribes and hunting parties but none lived in western KY in permanent settlements. Any one know? Carolyn
