Blockhouse Springs Echoes of 1800s Indian Raids and Local Trade
The narrative recalls Blockhouse Springs settlers, blue hogs under 100 pounds, and timber fortifications. Women sheltered in the oak block house during raids while nearby stores and a tanning vat served the settlement. Messengers carried election news, including Buchanan’s presidency, and local judges Kemp and Watson attended a Sunday singing convention at Salty.
