When you mentioned chewing the peeled sugar cane I remembered doing the same. I also have very vague memories of big stacks of sugar cane. <br /><br />I really enjoyed the information on Robert Gamble.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-40783982267147204592010-03-12T16:12:59.913-05:002010-03-12T16:12:59.913-05:00Thanks for these two fascinating posts about the s...Thanks for these two fascinating posts about the sugar plantation.

Well, at least it's good to know that everyone wasn't running around the plantation soused! I still love guessing games and won't give up. Speaking of booze, if you're not supposed to drink and drive, why do bars have parking lots?Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-43098804510057207002010-03-12T12:52:15.774-05:002010-03-12T12:52:15.774-05:00I love cane syrup.

That's how they used to thrash wheat also back then... In your case they were making sorghum on that particular plantation... But the thrashed their wheat the same way!!!! Oh Well--- I'm just no good with your little tests!!!! ha<br /><br />Great lesson about Robert Gamble and that plantation. Things surely did change after the Civil War, didn't they????<br /><br />How did your presentation go???? Got pictures to share?<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-27925954981574067102010-03-12T11:35:55.282-05:002010-03-12T11:35:55.282-05:00Sorry I am running behind with my comments.
