Time to start another Louis L'Amour book. :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hooray! good triumps over evil - exactly why I love Louis L'Amour - and he writes so eloquently without anything perverse or profane in his novels. I am also a big fan of Zane Grey!I WIN AGAIN! :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chev1958 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Killing is not perverse nor profane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I am from a part of the country where "He needed killing." is a perfectly valid legal defense. We also take that "'till death us do part" clause in the marriage vows very seriously as well... :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 The movie Next of Kin deals with a Southern man being killed in Chicago (I think it was Chicago) and his family taking up the role of kinsman redeemer as they go after the killer, who happens to be into organized crime.

Members IM4given Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 Would the Southern Man be of Scot-Irish ancestry? If so I feel sorry for the mobsters! I am from "Highland" stock and I can tell you that when one of us is hurt the whole tribe bleeds...it is just the way of our family. The same if you hurt one of us, you will have the entire family after you. Oh and by the way... in case you forget...I WIN! :sing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yes, I believe they were of such stock! I was raised that, for the most part, you can do what you want but if you mess with me or mine the line has been crossed and you deserve whatever you end up getting.

Members IM4given Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 When the Highland Clearances of 1745 began, many of the displaced Highlanders settled into the Appalchian Mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia because it was the type of land they were most accustomed to. If you check out the roadmaps you will see place named for their homeland, like Glasgow KY. The Hatfields and McCoys are two families famous for their family fued that extended several generations. Highland Peoples take their bloodlines and kinfolk very very seriously. That is why "outsiders" are treated with a great deal of suspicion - you are never truly accepted by a community unless and until you can esatblish a bloodline relationship with them...either by marriage, or by having traced your genealogy back enough generations that you can trace your relationship to the community back to your great great grandma on your aunt's cousin's side of the family. My family names are Ross, Stewart, and Taylor. That dosen't mean very much anyplace outside of Kentucky, but when I am "back home" it means all the world!
