Tupelo

Thirty minutes before Elvis was born his identical twin Jesse Garon was born, still born. Thier middle names were to have rhymed. Buried in an nmarked grave, in a shoe box, Elvis forever mourned his death.
Tupelo was once the home of the Chickasaw tribe and was the scene of fierce fighting and deep bloodshed during the civil war. It was the first city in America to acquire electricity.
Elvis and Jesses' great great great grandfather William Mansell was a settler, thier great great great grandmother was Morning White Dove, a Cherokee, 1800-1853
