One of my far back ancestors was Governor of Pensacola during the Creek Indian wars. Forget his name.....Owned by the Spanish and he supplied the Red Sticks with weapons.
Lived in Sacto 17 years loved to hit the mother lode country and Tahoe. Aways wanted to live by the beach though. Looking at water as I type this (explains spelling).
Roll Tide!!
And Apalatchicola is one of my favorite spots.
St. George Island just across the bridge is beautiful and the beach at the State Park should be on this list too. It’s on mine anyway.
It sounds like he may have been one of the guys hanged by Andy Jackson.
I don’t remember him getting hanged. Sounds like he deserved it though. I live about 30 miles from Horseshoe Bend. Jacksons Trace runs right through the middle of town. Bunch of Tennessee Volunteers were buried at Cedar Creek before they backed up Lay Lake. Still a memorial cemetery there(on dry land of course) on General Jackson Memorial Dr.
Lot of history. Ought to be ashamed I haven’t paid better attention to it.
What a great gift!
I’m pretty much all about Noah’s flood being the real deal. :-)
My personal favorite is Hana, Maui’s Hamoa Beach:
