Description
McKinley Williams was telling stories and greeting people from the front stoop of The Old General Store, Lorman, Mississippi on the Natchez Trace when I met him. He was quite the raconteur whose joy in life was contagious. He said his grandmother was a child during the War Between the States, and to save herself from ricocheting bullets passing through the family cabin, she climbed into bed and hid beneath the covers. “Otherwise,” Williams concluded with a bow and in amusement at hearing his own oral history, “thar’s be no Williams.”
