Caleb, my family settled in what would become Ohio, Ripley and Switzerland Counties in Southeastern Indiana. Before that, they resided down in Boonesborough, after having crossed the Cumberland Gap with Daniel to help establish that fort and town. So, in essence, I did what my "character" did, only in a much later time period. My "job" here in Iraq is, in essence, scouting for the Army! And I really am 58 years old!
