Yesterday I posted a picture of my Dad's old house in Brooks County. This was my great grandfather's house which is nearby. He had a "falling out" with a man whom he told not to come back on his property or he would be shot. My great grandfather was sitting on the front porch in this picture and saw the man come up in the yard. And of course, he was shot, but not killed. I believe my brother now has the gun. As I stood on that porch last week, I couldn't help but stop and think about this incident that I've heard my dad talk about, and realize how tough ( and stubborn?) many old timers were! Stories like these bring life back to these beautiful, old structures.
