He sang Christmas carols with the kids, he played love songs for our "anniversary couple", he told "audience appropriate" jokes, and played some of my favorite AC tunes. The next morning in church, people were telling me how they enjoyed the evening. Austin definitely made some new friends (and fans) in Wichita Falls. Even my dad, who usually doesn't like "younger" country singers, bought all three of Austin's CDs.

For example, in 1821 there was a Decatur County, created out of a part of Jackson County and in 1824 it was abolished and taken in as part of Madison County. I thought it could be something like that. Anyway I appreciate the kind words. I searched and found this site after comments about the Battle of Horseshoe Bend from a neighbor of mine, and during the conversation I told him that I was born in Moulton, where I lived (in the country near) most of my life before moving to Huntsville and That Moulton got it's name from a HERO of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Later I read the article to my neighbor, who's eyes prohibit him from reading it himself. He enjoyed it as much as I did. This is an excellent article, full of facts, wonderful stories of some of the real 'heavyweights' of American History and it happened here in our state.

Now my comments appear to call attention to an error that doesn't exist. In fairness to me don't you think that you should acknowledge the correction or delete my comment. Thank you very much.

It was a typing error and should have been WILCOX vice WILSON. and the last name of the soldier should be WILCOX vice WILSON. We will get it changed and thanks for catching the error. Don East.
