Fallingwater River
About 1814 John McDowell settled near this spot on the Fallingwater River in Tennessee. He owned 30 acres. When John died about 1819, his estate included a horse valued at $97.25. Most horses that I have seen in estate settlements were valued at $7-$15. John owned a valuable stud horse. Had it been a famous racehorse?
This photo was taken at Burgess Park, which is open to the public. Burgess Park has three waterfalls; this is Little Falls. Burgess Park is near Sparta and Cookeville in Middle Tennessee.
