Mike Watson speaks: Location of Pea Ridge. Pigtail topic It was to the Pea Ridge, as the neighborhood in Columbia was known then, that the late C.R.

I have concluded that Pea Ridge ran off to the left of Burkesville Street out beyond Judge Hurt and Judge Baker's houses, just about where Hudson Street runs today...farther down the road...I base this on her comments about the Pea Ridge Fair and the people I have heard of who lived in the neighborhood of PR. As to the other issue of the day, how the Hutchison Community got its nickname: I have heard of Pig Tail, but know not how to find info on it...but I will keep an eye open!
