Elinipsico's Town 1877 Map

Elinipsico's Town known as “Young King's Town” was located “just up the Kanawha from the fort.” Source: Shawnee Historian Don Greene.

From this guide by Greene I searched and searched and found an 1877 map that shows "Elinipsico."

I have archived this information plus quite a bit of references I have found, at Elinipsico's WeRelate profile (Archive.org) and at his Find a Grave.

Depression

I am so profoundly depressed. From the state of the world to my shitty grifting family. And add to that - my refuge - genealogy - has been invaded by toxic people, narcissists and their flying monkeys, long story... I just want to enjoy the life God gave me. The only thing I can think of to stave it off is planning my next year's garden! LOL. I am planting a maple tree forest also. I have at least two maple species in my front yard - Silver and Norway. more on my maples later...

Last week, with the help of my neighbor Ben, we planted three mature "Ruby Fire" sugar maples.

In addition, I have these little groves of Christmas trees all over the property. I keep thinking that I need to get rid of them because I am supposed to thin my trees but I just looked at them the other day and thought "I could sell these as Christmas trees!" They are too small now but almost!

Update: I don't know if they want to be Christmas trees. I walked out on the back property and there are so many of these little groves. I figured out the are Grand Firs. SO beautiful!. I saw one that was tall enough to be a Christmas tree this year and it is so perfectly beautiful I just don't think I can cut it down. I have to really think about this.
