I thought you would know @TNBigfoot68: ""Butternuts" (first applied to Tennessee Civil War soldiers because of the tan color of their uniforms, and later this nickname was sometimes applied to people across the entire state"
Also, ""Hog and Hominy State" - now obsolete, this nickname was applied originally because the corn and pork products of Tennessee were in such great proportions between 1830 and 1840."

@Patrickbrick yes there is a butternut squash but that has nothing to do with Tennesseans being called Butternuts. Its not often on here we can tell you are wrong, lol.

I posted this earlier but only my reply to Patrick showed up. @Yakster, that is correct, the color reference to the color of uniforms was being attributed to type of walnut tree. In the old days we was called a bunch of Butternuts, now days they just say we are nuts.

First one should land tomorrow, maybe the next day. There was a 3rd package which already went out a couple weeks ago to a BOTL who doesn't say much, though I noticed he was lurking at about the time the package landed.
