Watermelon lore and Civil War pardon tale headline
Watermelon pride amid Georgia crop numbers contrasts with Gov Curtin’s notorious pardon tale from 1862. The piece recounts a forged War Office letter, Kenyon Cross’s attempted escape through rebel lines, and Stanton's forged signature. It also notes a Buena Vista resident’s miraculous lightning encounter with a dog and a dog’s distant journey after sale. About $200,000 in new Macon buildings are under construction with more planned.
