There was a constant exchange of money and goods between fellow prisoners during prison life. Foote is constantly making brief notes in his diary of borrowing or lending money to fellow comrades. “Gave Beegle a Due-Bill for $50, the amount of my indebtedness to him (Aug 23rd).”

The Confederates used Roper’s Hospital just during 1864 as a prison. There were some 200+ men confined there at its peak according to the best records available. The Library of Congress Civil War Desk Reference says there were no escapes at Roper’s and no deaths; however, Foote records a death on Sept 29th, “One of our officers (Lt. Stahl) died this morning” of bilious fever.

When Foote first arrived in Charleston in late July the men were eating well, bacon and beef. It didn’t take much more than a week for the food and rations to fall short of the need of feeding such a large prison population in the city jail.

The Federals from Morris Island shelled the city relentlessly the summer of 1864. It was no small concern for the Federal prisoners in the city jail. Foote mentions shells bursting nearby on several dates: August 2, 4, 5, 23, 30; Sept 2 and 17. He would turn 21 years old on September 16th while confined in Roper’s Hospital in Charleston.

As most of you have seen covered on the news and in the papers, the 100 mile radius around our store in the heart of Tennessee received over 15 inches of rain in a 36 hour period not two weeks ago. I recently read that this flooding was a once in a 1,000 year event...

This show in St. Pete continues to prove itself as a great weekend as well as THE best show of the year for us.

Being a Tennessee native, it was kind of ironic that I had never toured the Hermitage. The irony, indeed, dripped greatly considering I came from an interior design background with a love of historic architecture. To remedy this private embarrassment, I visited the Hermitage earlier in this week.

Recently I had a great friend of mine, who I had not seen in a number of years, come into town to pay a visit. We had lunch and I suggested to him that he come out and see our store in Leiper's Fork before he left. So, the next day, as I was working at the shop, my friend stopped by and was very impressed with what he saw. I think he was most awestruck by our Benjamin Franklin bench that sits out on the lawn. Who could blame him?

Not a great deal is written about George Walton. There are no huge tomes written and not even modest biographies. The most one can find are brief sketches found in books written about the signers of the declaration.

This charming look inside the farther reaches of the storyteller's mind is undoubtedly one of the most under-appreciated books to come out of Nashville in years. You've got original stories (and some pretty darn good ones) by a few legends in this town - Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall, Charlie Daniels, Robbie Fulks and Hal Ketchum to name a few. The book features a foreword by Vince Gill and touts endorsements from Bill Anderson and B.B. King!
