Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from God´s Valley: People and Power Along the Tennessee River Said the preacher at Jordan´s Bend: In the first place God made the earth, including the Tennessee Valley, and man upon it. Then He sat back to see what would happen next. One day He saw a man digging at the ground with a stick to make the corn grow better. "Now, that fellows got sense," said the Lord. "I´ll give him a little help." So God told the man to try digging with a sharp rock. Next thing God knew, the man began to put an edge on all the flints he could find and do all kinds of work with them. He even started a church where they said God was a rock. God didn´t care much for that but He let it pass. Then one man with a sharp rock hit another man over the ear and killed him. God didn´t like that a bit. He let the river rise and drown all those men in a flood, and He started again. This time the men went to farming along their river, and God told them how to dig ditches to water their crops. But it wasn´t long before they started to worship the river, and before they were making slaves out of other men to do the digging. Some of these slaves were the people God liked best, so He let the river rise again. The next time God wasn´t having any foolishness about slavery, so He showed the men how to harness a mule and make a wagon wheel. Pretty soon the mules and the oxen were doing all the hard work.
