Wilderness Road - Jed Willis and George Farris as seen in Wilderness Road. The Honorable Jed plays politics here. You can see he tries to look like the regular old Kentucky Colonel. He doesn't have a lot of education, but he's a loud talker; he's hot for slavery and quite an orator on the subject. Mrs. Willis has been dead for a long time, few of us even remember her. Farris is a member of our school board. According to rumor in the Valley, there's bad blood between Farris and Squire Sims over a land deal with Farris' father years ago
