VAN MORRISON'S 1984 album A Sense of Wonder

You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love Philosophy.

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame.
Wee Alfie at the
Castle Picture House on the Castlereagh Road.

Whistling on the corner next door where
he kept Johnny Mack Brown's horse.
O Solo Mio by McGimsey
and the man who played the saw
outside the city hall.
Pastie suppers down at Davey's chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks
Wagon wheels, snowballs.
lyrics byVan Morrison


1922 Dothan High School graduate Johnny Mack Brown and Greta Garbo

McIntosh, William (1778?-30 Apr. 1825), military leader and high-ranking chief in the Creek Nation, was born in Coweta, in present-day Russell County, Alabama, the son of Captain William McIntosh, a recruiter for the British army, and Senoya, a full-blooded Creek. McIntosh was raised as a Creek, enduring the customary rites of passage and advancing to the rank of chief, Tustunnuggee Hutke or "White Warrior." Polygamy being accepted, he had three wives: Eliza, Susannah, and Peggy, and twelve children. There is no record that he ever met his Caucasian father.
McIntosh's career was influenced by Benjamin Hawkins, who became the U.S. Indian agent to the Creek Nation in 1796. Hawkins envisioned a system of Creek government controlled by his carefully chosen National Council. Hawkins was drawn to McIntosh for his oratorical brilliance and willingness to adapt to white culture.
In his late twenties McIntosh achieved national recognition as spokesman for a six-chief delegation selected by Hawkins to negotiate a land treaty in 1805 with President Thomas Jefferson. Skillfully arguing that the 2 million acres of Creek land was worth ten cents an acre (instead of the Senate's one-cent price), McIntosh prevailed, but he conceded rights to a federal road through his nation to Louisiana. As McIntosh predicted, the road brought Indian-white violence.
As roadways proliferated during the years 1807-1811, resentment escalated, particularly among the nativistic, recalcitrant Upper Creeks. Localized primarily in Alabama, they were vulnerable to Tecumseh's bellicose rhetoric in the early fall of 1811. Murders of whites by the Upper Creeks led Hawkins to organize the "law menders," a National Council police force, directed by McIntosh. In one portentous incident, McIntosh killed an Upper Creek seated on a chief's throne, claiming sanctuary
