Tales Heard at Daddy’s Knee

June 26th, 2008 . by admin

Here is a great post from Cat O’ Nine Tales.  I don’t know who she is either, but evidently she grew up around Moultrie:

I was born and raised in the American South, where my family’s history has been recorded since 1730 (and farther back according to family lore), who has been in a bi-racial marriage to a first-generation American for over 20 years

The post itself is fantastic and gives one a vivid peek into a time gone by:

This was the 1930’s.  South Georgia.  Small town.  If Moultrie wasn’t the buckle on the Bible Belt, it was at the very least the hole in which the buckle fastened.  Like almost everyone else, Mama Lucy’s family were strict Southern Baptists–no drinking, no card playing, and most certainly no tobacco!
