On our way back from Joe Wheeler we had the opportunity to spend a couple days in Florence/Muscle Shoals AL. The history in this area is spectacular. We never realized that Muscle Shoals is an iconic part of American Music where many amazing songs were created and recorded. Aretha Franklin, Clarence Carter, Wilson Pickett, Candi Staton, Etta James, The Staple Singers, the Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd to name a few. The Allman Brothers literally started and ended their career in Muscle Shoals. Take a look at this trailer for the Muscle Shoals documentary. If you get a chance, see the documentary on You Tube. Amazing!

We are growing in our appreciation of the Civil War’s history as we travel along the Tennessee River. Many of these river towns have descriptions of the atrocious conditions that our forefathers struggled through as they defined our country. The famous battle at Shiloh provides many tributes and insights regarding this monumental time in American History.
