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.

Wordless Wednesday Children on Mules

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.
Wonder where they are going. School?
ReplyDeleteProbably on their way to work in the fields; clear, plow, pull.
