Mark,
I have always loved the photos you have shared on the Rodney Historic Preservation Facebook page, especially those of Windsor, but it is a very pleasant surprise to see that you are an excellent Mississippi historian and writer as well! Thank you for this great article on old Greenville, complete with sources. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for those kind comments Sue. I appreciate the positive feedback! I look forward to doing more interesting stories moving forward.
I thoroughly enjoyed this issue of your online magazine!!! The article on old Greenville was just outstanding–well documented and very interesting. With all the activities you are engaged in, I don’t see how you find time to produce such an award winning endeavor. BRAVO!!!
I’m certainly looking forward to the next issue!
Thanks Sam!!! I had a blast doing it, and have big plans for June’s issue – to be on the stabilization project that’s ongoing at Windsor Ruins if things work out. I so appreciate the support and positive comments – they are much appreciated, as it was hard work. Hope to see you soon on a shoot.
Thanks Mike for a refreshing look the rich history. Not just landmarks but the people who made it happen. Very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Peace be with you.
Thanks for the feedback Robby. I certainly will. “And also with you.”
Mike,
Great article about “Old Greenville!” I have wanted more detail about this area, and you certainly provided it with great references. I am interested in the Old Natchez District from the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 to Mississippi Statehood in 1817, and you filled in some of the missing detail. Probably the large hill which you noticed was “Villa Gayoso,” and I will try to investigate it further. Any idea on whose property it might be located?
Thanks Jack – I had fun researching and learning. I’d be interested in learning from your research as well! I’ve not heard of “Villa Gayoso,” so that’s news to me right there. No, I have no idea who owns the land on that huge ridgeline I mentioned. I know that the Guedon’s farm the bottom land down on the river side of that hill. I’m assuming they lease the land, but maybe they own it. I met one of them when I turned around with the high water and was cycling back up the backside of that bluff… he was inching down the hill in his pickup truck with the driver’s window rolled down. He indicated he wanted me to stop so I did and we talked. He asked me with wide eyes, “Are you lost?” I laughed and told him no, that I knew right where I was, just trying to explore a back way into Rodney. He thought it amazing that I rode my bike that far. I forgot which Guedon it was, but he was a nice fellow. He was just driving down to check on how high the water had risen on their crops.
