Tells Of Olden Days Fort Wayne History
I am the oldest settler and honorary vice president of the Allen County Pioneers association. My father Louis Bourne came from Detroit to Fort Wayne, living in the fort and a log jail, with schools in the fort and jail. We traveled by pirogue in 1814, lost our house to fire, and later settled near Columbia Street. The narrative covers early structures, native legends, daily life, education, and social life among the garrison and settlers.
