Building the forts near a river makes sense. Good to know for future books, right?<br /><br />Thank you! The PRG has long been one of my favorite sites for reviews because of the paranormal elements in my stories. Linda Tonis is the person who usually reviews my books. She has often given them 5 stars, and is the one who places them in the contest. (I assume.)

I'm jealous of those whose books really sell.<br /><br />Parker County is just west of Fort Worth, as I'm sure you know. I've been out that way several times, hope to go to the peach festival one of these years.Lyn Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596495172490672271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-91839677884070575502017-02-21T16:11:39.032-06:002017-02-21T16:11:39.032-06:00Cool, Cheri!

I knew about many of them, but had never seen a map showing the locations. That really showed the forts presented a good line of defense. <br />I was born in Palo Pinto County, near Parker County. Our family has relatives in the Parker County Cemetery. <br />Fort Parker, I believe, would be the one that is most well-known. <br />Thanks so much for adding your award to your post--I'm jealous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-54278166253443099492017-02-20T15:08:47.825-06:002017-02-20T15:08:47.825-06:00Also congrats on your awards, you had my votes!Also congrats on your awards, you had my votes!Cheri Kay Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880562780953746133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-27586077406053579932017-02-20T14:43:40.123-06:002017-02-20T14:43:40.123-06:00Wow, you've written a huge amount of informati...Wow, you've written a huge amount of information here, none of which I knew prior to your post. After I read your list of forts, I realized each fort was at some river. Until I saw that similarity, I hadn't been aware of the need to build a fort near a water source--how silly is that? I enjoyed reading about this chuck of history and how all these forts were named.<br />Marvelous post, Lyn. I'd also like to congratulate you on your 2 awards from the Paranormal Romance Guild for best novel and best series. Awesome!Sarah J.

Kearny (spelling did not have the "e" back then). I also researched forts for my first historical book.

I had planned to add the next phase of forts to this post but decided to split it up because I need to make another map (from old ones on the net) showing the second line of defense.
