Between the years 1949 and 1976, Luther David Ralph (son, brother,
husband, father, farmer, carpenter, storyteller, journalist) wrote
over 800 columns entitled "Billy the Goat's Tales of Two Towns By
L.D.R." for the GOODLETTSVILLE GAZETTE. In his first column he
wrote, "This column will start in Shackle Island (TN) and
eventually wind up in Goodlettsville (TN)......we will endeavor to
mingle news of the past as handed down for posterity with amusing
events of today." During those 27 years he did write about current
events; memories of life on Long Hollow; stories of adventures in
The West; and, occasionally family events. Mr. Ralph's
reiminiscences and observations provide a glimpse into the life in
rural Sumner County, Tennessee between the towns Goodlettsville
(actually just over the line in Davidson County, TN) and Shackle
Island along the Long Hollow he called home for the nine decades of
his life (1890-1979). Granddaughter Annelle Ralph Hawkins Huggins
has located many of the original columns saved by family members
and readers over the years and additional ones in the holdings of
the Tennessee State Library and Archives. She has chosen 91
representative columns for this compilation. Ms. Huggins has been
an academic librarian for 41 years and currently serves as
Associate Professor / Associate Dean of University Libraries at the
University of Memphis. She continues to seek additional writings by
her grandfather and to transcribe all findings into electronic
format to be "handed down for posterity."
