Enjoyed the story of Sarah Osborne and the Warrior. We in America, have a rich heritage in stories and myths that are passed down in families. Some we know are fact, some fiction based on fact. They are all a part of our heritage and should be preserved. This story is no doubt based on true events of the happenings in the East Tennessee region. I am very proud of my East Tennessee heritage and am just now getting to know more of its history and stories. I am not proud of our nations treatment of the American Indians, but it is our history never the less. I am just as proud of my European countries heritages and embrace the stories, beliefs and legends of each nation. Granted some are fanciful myths but I tend to enjoy the stories of all countries and nationalities as the cultural heritage of the people in each community shine through. Where would we be with out the stories? We would be left with a very dull history of the world. And the Lord knows we have never been a dull world. Sometimes its hard to sort out the fact from fiction, but most writers of today will state if the writing is based on fact. There are wonderful stories to read. I am writing a short story of one of my great grandmothers. It will be based on fact, with some dialogue fiction mixed in but I am researching to have it as true as possible. This story is for our family, to honour a grandmother none of us were allowed to know. I hope it will be passed down to her descendants yet to come. It will not be for the general public. I have done a short essay on my four great grandmothers who all happened to be Kansas Pioneers. I am working on the same for the four great grandfathers. But these will be all fact and no added or embellished information. These will be published in the Kansas Genealogy Society papers. Just my own personal view on this subject.
