Fort Marr, Benton Tennessee. This is the last of the numerous stockades built to house Cherokees during the Trail of Tears. This would have been part of a walled fort. The Cherokees in my novel Stone Man and the Trail of Tears escaped from the army to avoid this stockade.

The Seven Seas (I think, for we are wondrously lost)
Avast Mateys,
Arrgh. Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Landlubbers what ignore me warnings will receive a visit from me lads. Verily, they do love keelhauling those who fail to Talk Like a Pirate. Making ye walk the plank and feeding the fish is also a fine sport.
Lads, sail up the rivers if needs be! Those what show a landlubber mercy will join them in Davey Jones locker. I will aid me lads when I find me crutch. Me eyepatch. Me rapier. Me pistols. Oh, demon rum has messed me with me head. Do I not spy a Navy frigate flying the Stars and Stripes?
Lads, turn your guns around and fire a broadside! We fear not the U.S. Navy! Prepare to board their worm-infested vessels! How dare them play “Anchors Aweigh.” Polly, don’t you dare fly away. Lads, load the cannons with grapeshot! Lads? Lads? Where do ye be?
Polly, come back! Stay off that Navy ship! Me head is reeling. Now where is me rum? Why didn’t I learn to swim? Never you mind, I shall still deal with them what ignore Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Now be done with it!
The Old Seadog
