Walking Horse Hotel Pecan Pie

I

Anyone that ever visited Wartrace, Tennessee could not pass the Walking horse Hotel without walking back to pay homage to the humble stable of the first TWH World Champion Strolling Jim or going in side the Hotel  for a RC Cola and a slice of Mrs. Wright's Pecan Pie. In honor of the last day of the 2014 Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, I have decided to share a special treat that was passed on to me by one of the best cooks I have ever known, Linda Potts.  Mrs Linda was given the recipe by Mrs. Wright who cooked this pie for years at the Walking Horse Hotel in Wartrace.   Cook one up and enjoy it for Labor Day!   Now if I could only get my hands on the oatmeal cake and caramel sauce recipe from the Bellbuckle Cafe!
