Indian Trails of the Southeast

by William E. Meyer

Carter County is not mentioned, but several trails that the author details passed just to the west of us.

This is the definitive work on the Native American trails of our region and is cited by all later texts.
Tales of individual adventures are brief, but I still found I could hardly put it down after I unwrapped it.
I'll be using this to add to the trails covered by the Kentucky1491.com website.

I recommend this book to anyone with any interest in this topic.

The book is available through Amazon and other on-line sources ($17.95)

The book is part of a larger manuscript, so the page numbers are misleading. The book is about 115 pages.
