"About 12 miles south of Tupelo, Mississippi is an exhibit called Tockshish. This exhibit tells about a site on the Old Natchez Trace known as Tockshish. This was McIntoshville, a community of white men and Indians built up around the home of the British Indian agent, John McIntosh, who settled there before 1770. When the old Indian trail was established as a national road in 1801, Tockshish became a relay station where post riders carrying mail between Nashville and Natchez could exchange weary horses for fresh ones. The post riders would then move on with their mail bags. For them it was a 5 day journey from there to Nashville and 7 days to Natchez. The RoadMusic® selection at this site speaks of the efforts of these post riders."
( Clip from song )
You'll reach the other side when you get there.
Never count the miles you've got to go.
Travel hard all day then you can say,
I've gone about as far as I can go.
