The South is a fascinating area of the country to explore. From the bayous of south Louisiana to the rolling hills of north Alabama, there is something here for everyone! I have spent many years visiting the interesting and unique places that the South has to offer. Here is what I found...

Mountain Tom Clark
Located adjacent to the Florence Cemetery on East Tennessee Street
Florence, AL 


Near the Center of Tennessee Street lies the remains of Tom Clark, a notorious leader of one of the number of outlaw gangs who terrorized helpless citizens during the Civil War. Clark and two companions were removed from the local jail and hanged by outraged townspeople. He confessed to having murdered 18 people and a child. Graves were dug in a nearby field, but someone remembered hearing Clark boast “nobody will ever run over Tom Clark.” Therefore, they buried him here so that all who passed by would run over Tom Clark.
