Carving Out Polk County
Peace River – July 17, 1849.
Paranoia reigns after the Red Stick
Indians attacked the Pioneer Kennedy Trading Post.
William Mc Collough
stated, “We had scarcely got seated at the supper-table when they fired in at
the door from the outside, one Indian standing on either side of the door and
two in front one behind.”* (8/36)
