We each had a good horse, rifle, and tamerhawk.

Some of the people in the fort said we would perish with the cold as we had no big axe to

cut fire wood at night.

That's Daniel Tribu. He's a contemporary with Daniel Boone. He helped settle this part of Kentucky here in the South Central Kentucky.

If you think of the Columbia area, he's still got a home now that you can tour.

And he's stationed out of Logan's fort.

Let's get into that in a second here. So folks, welcome to the Team VTAC podcast. I'm your host, Kyle Lamb.

And we have the man, the tamahawk man, Simeon England.

And you folks that read this description, when you saw a tamahawk, you probably thought I didn't know how to spell.

But I actually, I spelled it correctly compared to Mr. Daniel Tribu there.

So that book, westward, westward in the Kentucky.

Yeah, westward in the Kentucky. I heard you on a podcast, you were doing the, I love muzzleloading podcast, which was amazing.

And people should go, you all should go check that out, although we're probably going to cover a lot of what you covered in that also in this podcast.

But you mentioned that book and I have a pretty extensive library and it continues to grow. And I'm just trying to keep up with the books I want to read.

That book, we talked about it when I got here, for you folks out there, if you pick this book up, if you're looking for fine prose and you're a fan of Hermes, Hermes Hemingway, which I'm not.

This guy's not Ernest Hemingway. He tells it like it is. Have you ever, did you ever see a side show to a big show company, H-A-Y-T-C-H? Have you read that book?

It's written by a private Confederate private during the Civil War. It's very much like this book. It's the stories that are, it's the real man stories, not the leaders stories or the media stories.

It's the stories of that person. And that's what I like about this one. But I guess where I'm going with it is, it's not hard to read as long as you don't mind words.

It's all being misspelled and capitalization done sporadically. And it's a great book.

It is. It's, excuse me, it's almost like his diary. He writes phonetically for those of you listening. And Indians, he spells maybe three or four different ways.

Tomerhawk is always Tomerhawk. Another thing he says is Ohio, OH-A. So you can hear how they're, you know, almost they're accessed.

Yeah, you can hear the broke that he's got because it's written into it. And that's awesome because it gives us an insight into what, if you were to run into him today, you would understand him perfectly.
