pened to be the only Grandson OF .
rugged Early Settler who wore q Coon
Skin Cap and drank Corn Juice out Of

every Poor Man had Bacon in the
Smoke House, this Pioneer had been
soaked in a Trade and found himself
loaded up with a Swamp Subdivision
In the Edge OF Town.
Fifty years later the City had
spread two miles beyond the Swamp
and Grandson was submerged beneath

began to speak with what sounded to
him like an English Accent and his
