Jim & All: My grandpa bought a new buggy about the time my dads' oldest brother started courting.. naturally the young man wanted to use the new buggy to impress the girls, just as boys want fancy cars to day to make impressions.. He was finally granted permission to use it and was very excited about it..but in order to get to where the girls lived he had to travel a dirt and gravel road out of the river hills where he lived... up by the water falls along the way.. He went out and showed off the new buggy and took his girl for a ride but stayed much later than he should have...so..rushing back home...in the dark of night.. the horse rounded a sharp curve.. near a water fall..and the buggy, with my uncle, went over..into the creek.. The New buggy was demolished.. from then on he walked or rode a horse and therefore married a girl who lived much closer to where he lived! A few years after that grandpa was found in Rattle Creek, about frozen to death, near the wreckage of another buggy, but that's another story.... Another True Appalachian Story... Not so good maybe, but True! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.
