Title: Land Back of Emanis Dog Trot
"This is now my nephew's pine savannah, but it use[d] to be our pasture. I was sent to take my daddy something cool to drink but when I got to him, I found he had had a bad accident. The pasture was on a hill side and while he was mowing, the tractor turned over and rolled several times but ended up right. The bush hog on the other hand was upside down. My daddy was alright but he had dirt, debris, and thorns all over him. He said when he turned over, he fell off and saw the tractor rolling toward him that he scratched and clawed on that hill until he got out of the way. He was a lucky man."
