Sawbones

Between 1874 and 1886, Dr. Isham Peck (Ada and Charley's father, and grandson of Adam Peck, Sr., founder of Mossy Creek) wrote letters to the editor of The Morristown Gazette under the pen name Sawbones, and people wrote to him as well. Sawbones takes you on a deep dive into life in East Tennessee, Vicksburg, and Northeastern Louisiana during the years of Reconstruction after the Civil War and beyond. Sawbones expresses his thoughts on politics, slavery, medicine, agriculture, church disputes, friendship, and fishing. In Volume I Author Andy Peck includes the history of Isham Peck and family, including what is known about his pre-Civil War service in the U.S. Army as a surgeon during the Black Hawk and Mexican-American Wars. Volume II covers the final 18 articles and extensive Mossy Creek history and geography. Allow yourself to be transported to the South as the author includes original photography and a series of videos from places where Isham and family lived.
