Old Ranger Fort Edwards Tale From Warsaw Illinois
A fragmentary reminiscence recalls Fort Edwards built in 1814 by rangers under Captain Zach and Major Taylor near the Mississippi frontier. It highlights Captain Taylor's brevet and the rough humor of Bill L and the crew as they hauled timber past an aged oak while a Frenchman and a giant muleteam-mate hampered the line.
