Caption: From Here to Plains
Additional Description: Three miles is a long way to walk on railroad tracks in the hot sun- especially for a small boy. Even before he started first grade, Jimmy Carter would take a basket full of boiled peanuts to downtown Plains, which he later said "was for me a center of commerce, education, and religion." During peanut season, he could sell enough to earn a dollar a day - by walking six miles round trip. Trips into Plains were young Jimmy Carter's first steps off this farm and into a wider world.
