I found out about conditions in Tn. back in the spring of 1944, whilst i was on Tennesee Manouvers, with the 78th. Division! Many folks lived in poverty, or less. We happened upon a family, father, mother, 3 kids, living in a 1 room log cabin, dirt floor, heated by a big fire-place, no electricity, a small barn and a mule! They put a couple of us up for the night, as we had become separated from our unit! We slept in the barn, and for breakfast had fat-back and beans with them! When we left, they were $20 richer! Of course, he was too proud to take any money, but the mule never said a word, when we stuffed it under his harness, hanging by the barn door! RJ
