Flying in the Hill Country
As my eye heals, I'm slowly getting back to "normal" (whatever that is for me). I finished the first blog article this morning and called it "Those Hill Country Men (and Women) in Their Beautiful Flying Machines . . ." Click title to read.
The article is a little history, both personal and regional, a little of a book review (Vagrant Verse by V.A. Grant), a little about Henry Grady Peerey aka V.A. Grant late of Corinth, Alcorn County, Mississippi, and a little about the connections of several pioneering aviators to Hill Country. All because of one little short poem by V.A. Grant. Click to read the article.

Book review: A PLACE CALLED HOME
Bob Franks' A PLACE CALLED HOME: Itawamba County Mississippi is reviewed at http://hillcountryhogsblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/place-called-home-itawamba-county.html
I'm giving a copy of A Place Called Home as a Christmas present this year --- and highly recommend you take a look at Franks' excellent coffee-table photo-book. A link is provided in the review to the Blurb Bookstore from which the book may be previewed and ordered.
