Interviewer: You and your parents lived on the Weapons Station before the Navy bought the land?

Mrs. Scott: Yes. At the time we lived there it wasn't called the Weapon Station, it was the Reservation. This is a portion of land that was given to the slaves after being free, it was called the Reservation...That's where my mother and her brothers and sisters were born....my grandmother was a slave, my mother's mother, but she didn't live, at any time, other than on the Reservation, then later she moved across the street when the government, you know, took the land...

Interviewer: And do you remember how your father felt about that? Did he feel that he was compensated fairly from the Government?

Mrs. Scott: No, he wasn't. They didn't pay him anything for it. So many people they didn't pay anything for, they just moved them out and they had to just cut branches off the trees and make, they used to call them "brush hoven" and live there. They just moved them out.
