General Note
Accompanying note: "'Captain' Mansfield (his military title was conferred upon him by his 'old woman') has lost some of the traits of the ordinary 'cracker.' A veteran of the Seminole War and of the War of the Rebellion, he has mixed so much with the outside world that many of the 'cracker' characteristics are no longer recognizable...'Yes,' he said, 'I am having trouble with my foot ag'in. You remember I never had no luck with that foot, nohow. Fust I run a nail into it, then a hoss kicked the ankle off, and then I split it with an ax. I give the ax to another man, and he split his foot, too; so we 'lowed the ax was onlucky, and throwed it into the lake."
