My trip from Little Rock to Nashville today was an easy run - all on I-40. I stopped for lunch at a rest stop near Jackson, Tennessee. Inside the rest stop building there was a brief display about the legend of Casey Jones that intrigued me, inviting readers to visit the Casey Jones Museum and Home in Jackson. Since I had an extra hour to spare, I decided on the spur of the moment to stop at the museum, which was just one block off of I-40 in Jackson. I'm glad I did. It turns out that Casey Jones was a genuine American hero - bigger than legend. If you're interested you can google Casey Jones and read about him in Wikipedia. He is worth the read. The museum made him come alive for me, and I bought the Ballad of Casey Jones.
