First sentence: THE poetic vision of the Greek, in looking back through dim antiquity, when Ilion resisted the thunder-bolts of Agamemnon's hosts; when the Argos, freighted with human life, weighed anchor and sailed away to the far-off Colchis; the more modern romances of Fernando DeSoto, Juan Ponce de Leon, Pocahontas and her Captain Smith, Daniel Boone and Tecumseh, is not more thrilling in interest to the descendents of the pioneer settlers of this country than the land of the Chickasaws and Davy Crockett-the Obion, Forked Deer and the Big Hatchie country-when in the cradle of the wilderness.
