“As you journey through this book your mind will take you back to
when our forefathers led turbulent lives in a savage land. Indian
raids were atrocious and often resulted in capture and vicious
deaths. For protection, militia groups were organized. Forts and
fort houses were built. Their stories are very much a part of our
heritage.“The works of James Taylor Adams, Luther Addington, Emory
Hamilton and Edward L. Henson, Jr. were used as well as other notable
historians past and present.”

The book contains excellent family histories and memoirs submitted by
