Pecans and a Louisville Trade Tale from Carmi
Dr Daniel Berry recounts how the Wabash and Ohio valley pecan groves nearly vanished. General Rawlings bought vast quantities in Shawneetown and Louisville, forming warehouses and boats, then faced lawsuits and court rulings that forced payment and burned pecans after buyers refused. The tale labels Rawlings as the man who killed the southern Illinois pecan trees for years.
