Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Wonder where they are going. School?
Probably on their way to work in the fields; clear, plow, pull.
When I first saw the picture I thought that the children were playing and riding the mules for fun. But when I looked more closely I noticed that they weren't smiling--which makes sense if they were on their way to work in the fields.
