The story of our history is a fascinating one that grows ever more so as one learns more and more about the people and events that shaped it. Although much has been well documented, much more has been lost and may never be recovered. That is particularly true of the remarkable people who lived on the Appalachian Frontier during our country's formative years.
"Pathfinders, Pioneers, & Patriots" is an attempt to gather together some of the fragmented details and stories that have survived and to place them in context with better known historical events - so they can be better understood and appreciated.
The format of this book is different from most in that it presents a general overview of the historical eras, a chronological timeline, and specific stories about many of the fascinating people and events in the timeline. By using this approach, the reader can better understand what happened and why. They can more easily see how one event influenced and perhaps led to another. And most importantly, because of its focus, they can learn about many of the people that history has largely forgotten; who lived and died on America's First Frontier during the most precarious time in our nation's history.
