You completely forgot to mention, Tweed, the Battle of Tupelo, which was fought there during the Late Unpleasantness Between The States.

I (insert a modest cough here) have had the privilege of visiting, not only the battlefield upon which this engagement was fought, but Tupelo its very own self.

As for the truth about the story of Two Pillows, you can find this inscribed upon a Standing Stone at the tippy-top of the Priest's Mound at Cahokia (the one across the river from St. Louis, not one with the drag strip -- that's a couple hunnert miles north).
