Way Back Wednesday

 We had a good showing this past week. The number one pick was Linda Carter, the next four closest were Natalie Wood, Claudia Cardinale, Cassandra Petersen, and bringing up the rear was Emma Peel. Honorable Mentions were Betty Paige, Senta Berger, and Angie Dickinson. These will be archived with the previous picks until we have the "final countdown" sometime before New Years. I'll try to get everybody's suggestions up  this week. Remember when voting only one vote per post. Some suggestions from this past week seem a little obscure, but I will add them to the lot and you the readers can decide.

White Privilege

 Brock over at Free North Carolina and I were exchanging emails last night and I shared a photo of one of my Confederate GG-Granddaddys with him. He suggested I post this picture. The man in the photo is George Washington Denton. The photo was taken about 1883. He lived in the area of what is now Marietta, GA as war was looming on the horizon. He joined the 1st Georgia Cavalry CSA and fought the duration of the war. At the wars end when he walked up to his farm in May of 1865, his wife and children were in the yard. Not one recognized him. He was so vermin ridden that his wife stripped off his ragged clothes and burned them. They washed him in a pot in the yard in lye soap. He had been a modest farmer before the war, but Sherman's bummers had stolen or destroyed everything of value except for his house. While he was gone to fight the raiders stole everything that was edible and all the quilts from the home leaving his wife and children to go hungry and cold. He moved to Sand Mountain, Alabama about 1883. A few years later they moved to Winston County where land was cheap. He lived a good long life (88 years old) dying in 1925. He is buried with my mother's other people about 4 miles from where I was raised. I thought he looked like a wealthy planter from Gone With the Wind. Maybe it is just the way the light is hitting the picture. I really doubt this man could have given a tinker's damn about keeping any other man in bondage.

 Good Morning,

Take a moment and visit my site this week 

http://www.youmeandtheafter.com/

I have started a project of sharing photos of my two years of combat helicopter flying in Vietnam 1967 and 1969. I have finally started to scan the 3000 plus color slides and photos of those days and starting to share on each of my weekly blogs. 

Share if you think worthy. I appreciate.

 Hope all is well with you and yours.

Visit your site daily,

A.
