Welcome from where the highway gets real flat and stays that way for a while, with possible slight curves from time to time.

Welcome from Lowndes County

Warning: Thread Hijack! A side note on the "Star of the West." The first shots of the Civil War were fired on her when the Federals were attempting to re-supply Fort Sumter. She was fired on by cadets from the Citadel and turned back.

She later turned up in the Mississippi River after the fall of NOLA. She was captured by Earl Van Dorn and taken up the Yazoo to Greenwood, where she was eventually sunk in the channel to stop the Yankee gunboats.

Parts of the "Star of the West" are scattered among collectors, with her flag hanging in the Museum of the Delta in Greenwood. Whatever was left was mostly destroyed in the 1970's by the Corps of Engineers.

Welcome from the left coast of Mississippi.

(But I was born and raised near you in Bloody Kemper County.)

Welcome from Rankin Co. I'm another one that enjoys old milsurp guns.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! That's some pretty interesting history on the "Star of the West".

Welcome glad to have you with us.
