Subject: Great stories from the Archives...

Nothing more fun than surfing around in the USADEEPSOUTH Archives. Want suggestions? Here are a few:
...........................................


"What’s a bare-knuckle bar fight compared to a run-in with a wild boar hog in a briar patch?" -- Bill Fullerton

“Rick Bragg is a natural born storyteller, and his humor, his honest language, and all the people and places he’s known keep you reading.” -- Augusta Scattergood

“When golfers are ready to putt, marshals hold up signs to let fans know to be quiet. In the Chicago area, those signs say ‘Shut up, dammit!’ Here in Mississippi, they say (ever so gently), ‘Hush, y’all.’” -- John Lowe

"Every high school across the South had its own group of locals-turned-musicians, the popular groups of four or five who rotated among garages to practice on weeknights.” -- Don Drane

"To cook delicious collards without excessive calories, one needs a creative urge coupled with a wide assortment of condiments . . ." -- Jane Riley

"Can a deer really distinguish between camouflage and Ralph Lauren?" -- Charles Dowdy


"We are in big trouble if inattentive drivers get ticketed in South Carolina . . . I think it would be a lot easier just to give out rewards for those who are paying attention." -- Ann Ipock


"Listening in on party lines was a great source of entertainment and information." -- Newt Harlan

"Bobby Moon: ‘We arrived in the town of Hen Gong and asked a gentleman if we were at the entrance to the village of Gor Doi Long . . .’" -- Beth Boswell Jacks

"We followed the Red Tops all over the Delta, wherever they were playing – Rosedale, Greenville, Greenwood, Clarksdale. Time and distance didn’t matter." -- Tom Givens

"We walked through a pine thicket . . . and the little pine cones reminded me of another era when toys were almost as scarce as money. I say ‘almost’ because we could improvise toys but we couldn’t improvise money." -- Gene Owens

“The mountains of the Alleghenies remain in your mind once you’ve seen them. Momma used to say they looked ‘like the graves of giants.’ I see them that way myself now.” -- David Norris


"It’s all about the people that have come before . . . Highway 61." -- Jamie and Will Jacks
