Footprints of Fayette
Animal Footprints in Fayette
This week’s Footprints story will be a continuation of the stories about the “footprints” left by our animal friends, be they domestic or wild, in Fayette County history. These stories, important enough to appear in local newspapers, and the subject of talk and gossip amongst past local citizens, showed the interaction between man and animal.
This week, the stories are about some small animals, and one very large animal.
