Here's hoping that search leads to some answers to my questions.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-61445791851890760552015-07-29T22:54:36.183-07:002015-07-29T22:54:36.183-07:00Combine that with the intrigue and alliances forme...Combine that with the intrigue and alliances formed between various tribes and also with the British (and, in other cases, other international influences) and we are introduced to a whole additional layer of instigations influencing the course of history.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-37524489691552369502015-07-29T22:50:57.133-07:002015-07-29T22:50:57.133-07:00It's this milieu of daily life under these cir...It's this milieu of daily life under these circumstances that I'm hoping to understand more of--but which also prompt me to question even more the circumstances behind the connection between John Jackson at his fort assignment near Saint Louis and his bride-to-be from central Ohio.
