Joe Cain had us rolling harder than a couple of 19-year-olds at their first rave. Notice how I hyperextended my arm to save the drink. #mardigras #joecain #joecainday (at Oakleigh Garden Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvITXaNl0xYcP9Lx7zVs2KC8xidOg4jQz_wDEE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7nccjt4aoq3z

We all hear about Joe Cain Day being the Sunday before Fat Tuesday during Mobile, Alabama’s Mardi Gras Celebration (the birthplace of Mardi Gras), but does anyone revel for the lesser-known Goat Man Saturday? Prichard is a suburb of Mobile, and celebrates this eccentric man that paraded down the streets in a wooden cart pulled by goats, being the first to ever parade in Prichard. He would make toys and treats for his neighbors and throw them from his cart in the same fashion we throw moon pies and beads from floats today. On the Saturday before Fat Tuesday, the people of Prichard gather to revel with the Krewe of Goats in the Goat Man Parade, complete with a Goat Master, and yes, more goats.

Joseph Stillwell Cain is the man credited for founding the Tea Drinker's Society, The Lost Cause Minstrels, a founding member of the Order of Myths, as well as convincing the founder of the Comic Cowboys that his antics were worth taking to the streets in parade. After the defeat of the Civil War, the South was visibly broken in spirit, and Joe Cain took the responsibility upon himself to lift the spirits of his city. Joe served in the Confederate Army with his friends, and had moved to New Orleans briefly during that time. Since revelry halted in Mobile during the war, Joe saw an opportunity to bring the party back to the streets, with the revision of the creole pre-Lenten timing. This was the time that Mobile's New Years Mardi Gras became a united Fat Tuesday party season. Joe Cain and his friends dressed in their confederate uniforms, with the addition of Chickasaw Indian costumes, to create a fictional Indian tribe from Wragg Swamp led by Joe Cain as their Chief Slacabamarinico, or "Old Slac." These men chose to portray the Chickasaw Indians because this mighty people had never been defeated in battle. It was a symbolic gesture to the people of the region, stating, "...the South may be defeated in war, but we're not crushed or conquered!” #mardigras #mobileal #joecain #joecainsunday
