Not Davy Crockett's Cabin

Davy Crockett Cabin

This is Davy Crockett's last cabin that isn't Davy Crockett's cabin and isn't on Davy Crockett's property. Davy Crockett's cabin was disassembled and moved to this site in Rutherford, Tennessee, for reassembly, but visiting carnival people burned the logs to stay warm. Only two of the original logs survived. This replica of Davy Crockett's cabin was built with wood taken from Davy Crockett's mother's cabin.

Silence of the Frogs

I'm walking through the woods. The noisy tree frogs stopped singing all at once. Sudden and complete silence. Should I be concerned?

Chief Reelfoot and Laughing Eyes

According to legend, Reelfoot Lake was created when the Great Spirit caused an earthquake to punish Chickasaw Chief Reelfoot for kidnapping Laughing Eyes and making her his wife. Laughing Eye's father had previously rejected Reelfoot's proposal becuase he did not want his daughter marrying a deformed chief; for Reelfoot had a club foot.

These concrete statues of Reelfoot and Laughing Eyes sat at the entrance of Magnolia Beach on the Washout at Lake Reelfoot from 1955 through 1994. They now sit in front of Brooks Shaw's Old County Store in Jackson, Tennessee.
