You need to research it. This is all I have. HERE There is an example of an old cemetery there. I've seen one or two of those but this one has a few interesting resteeze.
All right, the terms to research are:
John Mills
Bayou Sara
West Florida Rebellion
Danial Turnbull
Rosedown Plantation
One picture can open worlds of information. On this one it's your turn.
Bishop Leonidas Polk. (source of the name of Fort Polk. He was also known as the Fighting Bishop. Or General Polk as Robert E. Lee referred to him. He was everywhere doing church work prior to the Civil War.
Term to look up:
General P.G.T. Beauregard, a fascinating Frenchman. He had to be Gen.DeGaulle's grandfather.
Bayou Sara, are you getting the gist of this yet?
McGuinn had asked Dylan to write the song for the movie.
Dylan told him he didn't have enough time and scribbled a
stanza on a napkin and handed it to McGuinn. Roger wrote
the rest of it and offered to share royalties with Dylan. Dylan
refused saying that he had enough money and besides McGuinn
had written the balance of the song.
Now why did I place it on this page? I felt like it. So here's the Ballad Of Easy Rider
I don't expect you to get the feel of the song if you have never seen the movie.
Of course you are from outer space and need to go home. I can't pass a levee
and not think this song. It's a gift.
The Ballad of Easy Rider from the sound track of the movie, "Easy Rider".
Lyrics by Roger McGuinn and Bob Dylan
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
All he wanted
Was to be free
And that's the way
It turned out to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
Flow river flow
Past the shaded tree
Go river, go
Go to the sea
Flow to the sea
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town

Now why did I place it on this page? Some know.
Something was missing though. It seemed that on every foray the result was a partial bummer. I've been on a roll for a long time. One success after another has gotten me spoiled. Maybe this one was just a bit off.
Writing it was a job, one I promised myself to do. More enthusiasm will have to propell the next one. See ya around the bend, along some river..
