Dutson FILLMORE S3 Last week, I invited my readers to go with me on a takes ns trip which through the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and back through Kentucky to St. Louis on a chartered bus. We flew back to Salt Lake City from St. Louis as we had visited Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas before. We had just arrived in Vicksburg, Mississippi, when we finished our article last week, therefore our journey continues from there today. all remember We Vicksburg as the turning point of die Civil War, and the main point of interest is the Military Cem-etar- y there. Our guide was a Mrs. DeVal, professor of history, who gave us toe most interesting history of the Oval War, but from her discrip-tio- n of toe Civil War you would never guess that the northern states won the war. Every southern Army Officer was superior to the northern officers, and toe soldiers of the South were superior to the northern soldiers. When she finished telling us about the Battle of Vicksburg, we were all in sympathy with the south. There is a large statue of Jefferson Davis, President of toe Union of Southern States during the Civil War, over 1700 markers, thousands of unmarked graves, and consists of 1343 acres. fell, July 3, n 1863, with General rg Fern--terto- surrendering to 'General Grant, mrting it . ra lost cause to tot toe South for the nekt two However, you years. should listen to toe south i ... . .COrEDJTOR Marge Barton by STELLA DAY ern version of the Civil War. I could hardly believe my ears. But toe historian was so dedicated to the South that you found yourself wishing they could have won. What a difference it makes to history when you listen to a prejuciced historian, especially if she is a beautiful southern lady with a southern accent. The old courthouse is now a museum and many of toe old southern mansions with their elegant furniture, are tourist attractions. The owners were millionaires, who owned many slaves who worked on their large estates. The houses are furnished elaborately with furniture made in Europe, hand woven draperies, silver, and china fit for a king. We next drove on to Mobile, Alabama, and stayed at toe Cawtoon Hotel. While there we visited many beautiful One church buildings. church had a plaque on which was printed, A lot of kneeling keeps you in good standing with God! The next day, we were up at 5:30 a.m. as we had a long distance to go that day. We visited the Gardens, which took some time, but we reached Florida to spend toe night. On our way we passed toe Barton School, which was toe very first public school built in toe South. It is a large white building, and was built in 1835. We went along toe Azalia Trail, which is another tourist attraction. Although it was only Mar. 17, toe azalias were passed their most perfect blooming season. A large white southern mansion is Azalia Trad Headquarters. That day we saw our first roses, but a letter from Fillmore, told us of a Our big snow strain. guide for toe Bellingrath Bell-ingra- th Gardens was a negro who had always lived near toe gardens and had worked in them since a small lad. How he loved that garden! Hundreds of trees furnished shade for toe different flower beds. There were beautiful magnolia trees, live oaks, Japanese and Chinese Bamboo trees, and many others. The water from the well, which furnished the water for a large pool surrounded by flowers, flowed into a stream that was piped to toe river, as the water was harmful to the plants. The large rose garden was in the shape of a rotary wheel and toe rose bushes were replaced every three years. Since the bushes were fed generously, keeping them in bloom most of toe season, they were old bushes in a short time and had to be replaced. When we left the Gardens we crossed toe Swanee River, made famous by Stephen Foster, followed along Mobile Bay then along toe Gulf of Pensacola, paid toll at toe draw bridge, entered toe tunnel under the Tennessee River, crossed another bridge over toe Blakely River to the old Spanish Fort where a beautiful new motel has been built, and then we were in Florida, where we will visit next week.

The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. in the Millard High School Band Room. Everyone is invited to come and hear Linda tell of her experiences in writing her book, Search Real Emma of the Smith, about the life of the Prophet Joseph Smiths wife. Linda is the daughter of the late Foisy and Pearl King and was raised in Fillmore. She reached her current position In the forefront of LDS biographers by an unlikely route. Six years ago, when she began her pursuit of the real Emma Smith, Lindas major qualifications for this enormous and complex research project were her considerable native intelligence and her large reserves of commitment and dedication. With no prior formal instruction in Mormon history, research methods, or in historical writing, Linda and her collaborator, Valeen managed nonetheless to produce the first conprehensive biography of Emma Smith, which will soon be published by Doubleday. I will always be grateful to my parents for making me feel deeply loved and valued, but it wasnt until I went off to college at C.S.U. (she later graduated from Utah Av-ver- y, middle names were Berry Stapp. State University) that I learned very much about the world of ideas, Linda said. After her marriage to Jack Newell in 1963, Linda happily settled into the life of a traditional Mormon wife, mother, and homemaker.

They have lived in Salt City since 1974, when Jack accepted an administrative position at the University of Utah. He is presently the Dean of Liberal Education.
