* interesting tidbit about the Ames Plantation! Mr. John Walker Jones, who sold Mr. Hobart Ames the “Cedar Grove” Plantation, was the great-grandfather of Nash Buckingham’s wife.
All the giants of the sport, both men and dogs, traversed this terrain. Jim Avent, Er Shelley, Clyde Morton, Wilson Dunn, John Gardner, My friend John Rex Gates, John Olin, John Baily, Hoyle Eaton, and yes, Nash Buckingham gathered at this place, shared their wisdom, made their name, said a little prayer, made a little money, and had a lot of fun.
