How Tate’s Hell Got Its Name

In 1875, Cebe Tate’s livestock were being killed by a panther. He decided enough was enough and went to hunt down the slayer cat. He headed out into the immense, unknown swamp north of Carrabelle, with his gun in hand.   As the story goes, he got disoriented, snake –bit and lost his gun. After seven days of wandering, drinking swamp water and eating whatever he was able to find, he wound up crawling out onto a street in Carrabelle.   His brown hair had turned white.   When he was asked his name he gasped, “My name is Cebe Tate, and I just came from hell,” just before he died.
