Hello and isn't that just the best book! I have also been trying to pin-point the area and the best I can do is north-east of Doniphan in the Grandin area. That is Johnson Township, not Jackson as Miss Jiles uses, but alot of the landmarks are in that area like "Devils Backbone", Little Black River. I believe the Old Military Road went through there also. I hope this helps and if any of this information is wrong, hopefully someone out there will correct me. I wish I knew more as I was born in Doniphan but left when I was 13 so all of this history is news to me too even at the "tender age" of 70.
Hi Norma Jeane Did you know the Robert Clark family? He was also called Leon. His children were James known as Jake, he married Dovey Shipman. Some of Jakes brothers and sisters were Eddie, Nora, Nelle, Walter. The Shipman family was related to the Lowry family.

There is a Colley farm on Current River just north of Current View, which was known as Buckskull during the Civil War. I haven't read the book, but does it mention Buckskull?
