Book Description
Somewhere between the tiny northern Minnesota towns of Littlefork and Ray, flows the raging Rat Root River. If one was to follow the river north toward International Falls one would come upon an animal kingdom called Timbertown. This is not really a town in the sense that we would know it, but more a collection of dens and burrows and beaver houses, where animals who have lived in harmony for some time, have learned to congregate and communicate. There are probably many such animal communities in northern Minnesota, however Timbertown is different because it has a story to tell. There is a legend that came out of Timbertown about a bear, a beaver, and a boar. I don't know when this legend started, for I, of course, wasn't there, but I think it was some time ago, many generations ago, perhaps.

Remember the Raisin! Kentucky and Kentuckians in the Battles and Massacre at Frenchtown, Michigan Territory, in the War of 1812
Author: Garrett Glenn Clift
Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Com
ISBN: 0806345209
Category : Kentucky
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
. The Battle on River Raisin, which was fought in and around Frenchtown (now Monroe), Michigan from January 18 to January 23, 1812, was one of the four principal campaigns of the War of 1812 engaged in by Kentucky forces. Following the massacre of American forces at Frenchtown--including as many as sixty Kentucky soldiers-- Kentucky, patriots exhorted one another with shouts of "Remember the Raisin," which gave the new nation the "vengeance-fired impetus" to wage the remaining battles of the War of 1812. The larger of these two works treats all aspects of the Battle on River Raisin and features detailed biographical and genealogical sketches of nearly 100 officers and enlisted men who served on River Raisin and complete rosters of the Kentucky soldiers who saw action there. The smaller companion volume is a miscellaneous listing of Kentucky veterans of the War of 1812 compiled from newspaper files, pension lists, county histories, veterans' publications, and so on.
