| TUGBOAT PUSHING SUPPLIES UP THE MISSISSIPPI |
Natchez has a national military cemetery est. 1866 with soldiers from civil war (if they found a pile of bones, they got buried as unknown soldier) up to present day military. They average 3 funerals a week. They are working on a touch screen directory to find your relatives. www.nps.gov/nr/travel/national_cemeteries/Mississippi/natchez_National_Cemetery.htmln at's sTh
There were more millionaires in Natchez before the Civil War than anywhere in the US, The cotton farmers needed a place to entertain so they built beautiful antibellum homes The town offers fall and spring pilgrimages where everyone dresses up. This would be a great girls trip as many of the mansions are B&Bs. Glad General Grant didn't destroy these homes after the union took control.
Ate blackened catfish at Roux 61 and then it rained all afternoon and eve so we didn't get to go to the cotton plantation. I worked on window selection for cabin. TOO MANY CHOICES. For example 7 DIFFERENT KINDS OF SCREENS.
It turns out Mike and Lorene Cassidy were 76 miles N in Vicksburg and Bisgards 2 hours South. Will rendezvous with both on this trip.
