The thing about this, is that the area this was suppossed to have taken place is all hill country. I know, Ive been there. There are a few very old farms, but for the most part, hills and hollows.
Speaking of hills, has anyone heard the story of Frenchmans Knob? If so, this is where my family is from. I have the story. It is how the knob got its name, and of course NDN's play a major roll. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will post it.
