I traveled to Vincennes, Indiana in order to walk where some of the characters from my new historical fiction novel walked. Richard Rue and George Holman, early white settlers of The Whitewater Valley locally but also George Rogers Clark, Tecumseh, and William Henry Harrison. I visited the Harrison home and looked out of the second story of the house at Grouseland at the lawn between the house and the Wabash River where Harrison and Tecumseh nearly came to blows. I also visited the site of Fort Sackville, now part of a National Park site. I walked along the river and imagined what it might have been like for my characters to approach the French settlers in Vincennes and then take on the British troops at Fort Sackville.
I will write more about my new book as I go through the editing process with the Indiana Historical Society.
