Ok H-haid you've hit on a subject that I enjoy talking about. Just like you I remember Mr. Chess(goat man) very much. I remember many a day visiting him while he was in the'boro. Can still remember the smell of the goats and the tires burning. We made several trips in my younger days to Chattanooga visiting relatives and would get behind goat man on the road crossing the Tenn River or going around the mountain roads to Chattanooga. I have a print of him as well as the book that was written about his travels. Very interesting. I also have a picture of him standing in Smyrna on the old nashville highway before downtown smyrna came about(as we know it today). One of his tales was he was left for dead in the upper midwest and he came back to life(his tale). I will try and get some of the pictures to ya'.
