From the Soul into the Cast Iron Skillet, TWO - 2nd Helping

"GOD gave the BLACK RACE the culinary ability...to feed his Flock!" Through hardships and suffering, a great legacy began, of generations of exceptional COOKS/RECIPES, passed along through the ages...VERBALLY.  

"LILLIE OF THE FIELD:" In "The Golden Age Of The South," a story unfolds to tell the harsh, as well as, the glorious days, of an era gone awry, with the Yankees breathing down their throat with a "fiery breath of flames" on the threshold of Deer Range Plantation. The Civil War pitted "the have and have nots" of the United States of America, divided between the latitudes of the North and South domain. The North's command's orders were to burn every crop and fruitful field in their wake and to destroy their southern coastline enemies at the, VERY, core of its wealth and growth. The South had little resources, in comparison to their opposition, to stop their "March to the Coast." "HELL TO PAY!" 

The covered wagon was loaded with only the barest necessities, the Colonel, his family, LILLIE, Ollie-Belle, with her cast iron skillet for Cookin' and protection, and a bag of seeds. These seeds, as told in FROM THE SOUL INTO THE CAST IRON SKILLET, 2ND HELPIN', would "SAVE THE SOUTH!" And they did.
