GEORGE SMITH BRYANT: As recorded by America Bryant-Christopher
in "The Family of George Smith Bryant" Sentinel Printing
Company, Independance, Missouri, 1901. " "In the first
settlement Kentucky, when it was all in forest and undergrowth
and the houses were very far apart, my father, 5 years old, got
lost and wandered about ten miles from home. He started to
follow the children to school, but lost his way and wandered on
and on. Toward night, he fell across a big log and slept there
until morning. He was very tired. In the morning when he awoke
he found a wild turkey's egg, and seeing a log cabin not far
off, he went to it. The door was propped shut, like many doors
were at that time, and he pushed on it and it fell down. The man
living there was a Mr. Silvers. The first thing my father said
when he opened the door was, " I want to roast my turkey egg."
The man asked him who his father was and he said, "Mars Johnny,
and that his mother was Miss Polly. The man then asked him what
their niggers name was. He told him it was "Mammy Bess". As
there were not many people who had negroes, the man knew then
who the child must be. He got on his horse and took the child
home. Meanwhile, the child's parents were nearly distracted and
many of the neighbors had hunted all night for him. There was
much rejoicing when the man brought my father home, and my
grandmother, who used often to tell me this story, said it took
several days to pick the briars out of his feet."
