Description
History of the settling of Tuckasegee, North Carolina. One-hundred-year-old Jane Shook Chastain tells a great story about mountain life in Tuckasegee, "back in the day" before the flood of 1940. She talks about how she bought the family land by paying her uncle's back taxes from money saved in her cloth stockings - money she made from selling her vegetables, eggs, and livestock to Blackwood Lumber Company. We also hear from Becky Chastain Reeves, Jane's granddaughter, who grew up on the land Jane purchased.
