IIRC, Wilford Woodruff cursed Benton County, AK back in 1836.

Sadly, it was Benton County, Tennessee. (I live in Tennessee)

I just knew that Wal-Mart was the spawn of the devil. Now I know why!

These stories are like the things that made me sometimes turn to my companion and say that we’d laugh about it all some day. “Some day” sometimes comes!

I’ve heard other accounts of similar suspicion here in the States during the two world wars. The mindset was different before widespread radio, then TV, then Internet homogenized the world.

I can just hear their mothers asking, “Yes, but were their pajamas clean?!”

Also, I got a hoot out of the North Carolina episode where the police worried that the missionaries might be guilty of espionage. I experienced similar questions (none from police, though) on my foreign mission, and have heard of plenty of similar stories of missionaries also serving foreign missions. But I’ve never heard of one happening in the United States! That’s just too funny.

I wonder if the Hospitality story referrs to the watermelon rind pickles popular in the South?
