The feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepardsons can relate to how slavery collapsed and southern culture itself. Between the two families there was a lot of back and forth fighting. With slavery there was a lot of the same things.
Geodes from Southern Indiana. These are pictures from a geode collecting trip that my dad and I went on. The geodes we found in this stream bed all were eroded out of southern Indiana limestones. Geodes form in cavities that are filled with mineral-rich water, usually quartz. When the water moves through, it leaves behind the disolved quartz in the cavity.
Update 2: I guess I should be more specific. We would like to go rock hunting and find our own geodes. I know they can be found in streams and riverbeds near limestone deposits but we don't know where that would be. Has anyone out there found some of their own and know a good place to look?
