Promoters tout Southwest riches from uplands and goober peas
A Nashville reader recounts the promise of the Southwest as a land of quick money. A Barrens farmer cleared six hundred dollars on one and three quarter acres growing goober peas selling two hundred bushels at three dollars each. Strawberries on ten acres yielded seventeen thousand dollars. A one legged Confederate found success near the Taronzo River by credit farming, building a home, schoolhouse, and church, and amassing cattle and hogs. The piece asserts vast, accessible wealth in the uplands and fruit, urging readers to consider the region.
