While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Bissasha (Bissa-asha, 'blackberries are ripe
there'). A former
Choctaw town on the w. side of Little Rock cr., Newton co., Ga. Judging from
the stone implements and other debris lying scattered over its site, the town
covered an area of about 10 acres, making it a rather small town as Choctaw
towns were generally built. Brown in Miss. Hist. Soc. Publ., vi, 442, 1902.
Burges Town. A
Seminole town, the exact location of which is unknown, but it was probably
on or near Flint or St Marys r., s. w. Ga.
Connell (1793) in Am. State Papers, Ind.
Aff., i, 384, 1832.
Buzzard Roost. A
Creek town "where Tom's path crosses
Flint r.," Ga.; exact locality not known.
There was another Creek town of this name on
upper Chattahoochee r., w. of Atlanta. See
Urquhart (1793) in Am. State Papers, Ind.
Aff., n, 370, 1832.
