Abstract
In this recording, William “Billy” Eugene Mills is interviewed by Ruby Staten about the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta and the Blakeley Bluff area. The interview begins with Mr. Mills talking about his life, his family’s history, and the jobs he worked in his lifetime. He grew up in Spanish Fort, Alabama, and talks about trapping in his youth after school to earn some extra money. Mr. Mills also discusses some of the things that he has found in walking around the woods in the Blakeley Bluff area—including the remains of a missing person, and a significant number of Civil War items—and describes some of the history of the area, particularly during the Civil War, and the history of the town of Blakeley, Alabama.
