[Today’s run: 7 miles]
Today’s run took us on Williams Road south of Starkville.
On Williams Road there is a water tower which belongs to a rural water district. On the tower it says, “Talking Warrior Water Association”.
I had been wondering what ‘talking warrior’ meant.
The Sunday Columbus Dispatch has a column by the local historian, Rufus Ward. One Sunday last January he mentioned a local Choctaw indian of note named Talking Warrior.
Talking Warrior signed his ‘X’ on a treaty with the United States.
There is also a Talking Warrior Creek in the neighborhood of the water association.
So now I know a bit about Talking Warrior.
