Perryville, actually. They weren't in KY too long before moving into TN in time for the Battle of Murfreesboro.

I knew it was Western KY (which really is where anything of "real" substance occoured" except for some skirmishes and of course Gen. Morgans expoits.

Also am really learning alot on this site and have already actually met some folks from here (at the Burns Night in Cincinnati) thank you again for the hospitality!

It is not uncommon for local rogues to paint the bits 'n' pieces, sometimes in UK blue, in protest, although I haven't seen it done in quite a while.

"No hero should be atop a mare"... hmmm. I'm too much of a lady to make a joke about that one.

Words to probably avoid on this discussion...lets see...RIDE...BAREBACK...MOUNT...

I just consider myself lucky to have a ring side seat... do carry on... ha ha

Well a lil bit of good / fun news, found myself what appears to be a decent Black Watch kilt. Research showed me this tartan is "fair game" while the quest for another one continues! Besides it looks pretty "bad ***" and my friend in England who was in the RAF and stationed up in Scotland told me it was a "proud tartan and certainly appropriate" well was good enough for me!

Should be here in a week or so, still have "lots" of missing pieces for a "proper outfit" but am working on it!

Talk to yall in a bit,

Shawn
