I loved reading the first book " Lillian's Diary: Whispers from Galena's Past", with all the pictures, old recipes, and snip-its of past historical life....GOOD READING!!!<br />Bring on the next book..I can't wait!Carol Jean "Trudgian" Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341048312405719251.post-53145674632205191692009-09-03T08:42:15.748-04:002009-09-03T08:42:15.748-04:00You know how family rumors go....but the little wi...You know how family rumors go....but the little windows are still there and I know that when the Smithsonian Institute was out to photograph the barn, as a "living" example of early U.S. barns they also suggested the use of the window design as a protection device from the "enemy". Perhaps the enemy was a big black bear! I am not arguing with you Pat....you know way more than I do about history... I will ask Barbara about the report from the Smithsonian and try to get a picture of the barn up for all to see.

After this war the governor of Illinois signed a law that prohibited Indians from living in the state forever! The Sac and Fox Itribes and their chief Black Hawk were summarily banished to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma that same year, so the danger of Indians being in NW Illinois in 1852 when Joseph built the barn was highly unlikely.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346793324610285766noreply@blogger.com
