Chimneyville









These relics just north of Vicksburg may or may not go back to 1863, but they did remind me of the area's history. Gen. Sherman burned so many homes in and around Jackson that it was called Chimneyville for decades. Meridian got the same treatment. Vicksburg didn't celebrate July 4th for 89 years. Theis pyromania was just a dress rehearsal for Billy's march to the sea.




Well so much for Independent Sovreign States. Hey we tried to warn you but you kept shooting at us.





Lets raise a toast to our Masters in Washington.

Well, you know the Southern Man well. Too well, perhaps. I's call that chapter one of something.

Good pictures. However,like I've told you before, you were just born 100 years too late.
