They not only have a wonderful museum, there are live actors portraying their ancestors in daily life. One of the things that surprised me was the blow gun! That shooter was good, too. <br /><br />It's after 8PM here so I'll bid you all good night.Valerie Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996900607996108828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-76378300256142734532017-05-10T17:54:50.988-07:002017-05-10T17:54:50.988-07:00Love these little insights into history - thanks f...Love these little insights into history - thanks for sharing!Winnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-65549611659091348562017-05-10T17:47:13.588-07:002017-05-10T17:47:13.588-07:00I also used antique maps and place names.

A friend here in northern Arkansas was sure she was descended from escapees but we never got her ancestry nailed down. She would have loved this book and our discussion if she were still with us. It's Benge's Trail that passes very close to me here.

One of my favorite reader letters came from a Navajo who appreciated the way I portrayed plains Indians, even though she wasn't from the same background.
