History is constantly in the making; the task of the chronicler, confronted with the ever increasing bulk of material, becomes one of abbreviation and elimination. How few names, how few periods, how few events, go to make up what the world ultimately sees fit to keep at the finger-tips of memory. (MI Pioneer and Historical Collections, 1907). An effort to catch bits & pieces of history slipping from the "finger-tips of memory."

This is a very touching spot that i had the chance to visit a few years back. The history of the Natchez Trace is so complex and interesting. Perhaps one day more will be known about these men and how they lost their lives and came to be buried on the Trace.
