Roll Tide!!!!!
Hello from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I don't actually get my Kindle until Christmas but I have downloaded quite a few books and can't wait to get going. I am trying to finish up the last of my Pbooks.

It's nice to have these forums.

Welcome to MobileRead.

I think GARussel is thinking of "DixieGal".............or he's thinking of the "Dixie Chicks" something entirely different.

I think that GA is confusing you with DixieGirl. I think that you are the only DixieChick here. There is also a DixiePeep.

Hi DixieChick! Welcome to MobileRead.

Gee, since there are so many 'Dixie's here, can any of you tell me where or how the term 'Dixie' became associated with America's South? We've all used the term for so long but I never gave any thought to where it came from before. I'd be interested to know...

Yes. Having grown up in New Orleans, I happen to know the answer to that.

When the French controlled New Orleans and the southern Mississippi River region, they printed currency notes. I imagine they were francs. Ten in French is dix. So the ten franc note had "dix" on it. Yankees saw them and called them dixies. So New Orleans and that region came to be called "the land of dixies".

From there it changed to "land of Dixie" and then to just "Dixie".
