So I debated about changing the excerpt and using that story, MEANT TO BE, which is soon to be re-released through Prairie Rose Publications, but didn't, since I didn't have a cover, etc. yet for it.

I understand quite a few Cherokee joined the Confederate cause because the Confederacy made all kinds of promises to "fix" things that upset them about their existing relationship with the federal government.

I'm so glad to know I have someone who hated Fallon as much as I did when I was writing about him.

We'd go under the chain link fence and roam the cemetery, reading tombstones, wondering about the people, etc. My favorite one now is the one at Ft. Sill. Actually the TWO at Ft. Sill.

He was about 90 and my sister told him she'd take him rather than him out driving alone. She asked me to come go with them. I was so glad I did--he talked the entire time, about his growing up years in eastern OK, and how Pretty Boy Floyd had come their house one night when he was a young boy, and his mom got up and fixed a meal in the middle Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-74224946204722463132014-04-29T13:48:59.193-05:002014-04-29T13:48:59.193-05:00Jae, that is a wonderful tradition.

I had never heard of the place. I did a whole blog about it after it happened, because of so many "coincidences" that happened. Anyhow, while we were there, one of the townspeople came by and stopped to see if we needed help.

The stories of these men is endlessly fascinating and far from the usual accepted fare. For some reason I did not connect Watie's exploits with that scene. (Bad me *grin*).
