From the forthcoming short story collection:

“American Centennial at the Homeplace: The Founding (1833-1876)”

These maps are from the back of the printed book, when it comes out. Felt they'd be most useful here.

Last week we posted lists of purchases with map references. Here are the maps to which the purchase references refer... for your interest, and possible use. Annette Lamb created these in Power Point, and I modified them to match my needs in The Founding stories. Very useful, very fun! ;-)

Note: This west valley map actually includes The Kings of Oak Springs farm, to the far right, even though it was purchased in 1876. It also has the Darrel Yokum place to the south of it. Totally "up-to-date," for sure! ;-)

To be continued... next Friday.

May we each have a Homeplace, if only in our hearts!
