My grandfather, King ("Little King") Turpin, Jr. was born in a house boat on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga on Februrary 3, 1903. Until his early teens, Chattanooga seems to have been Little King's home town.
In addition to scenes of the Tennessee River, the following video also captures shots of (1) the approximate place where King's mother died, (2) the children's home where he lived after the authorities removed him and his sister from their father's home, and (3) the site of Captain Frazier's estate where Little King and his sister stayed after running away from home.
