This is a tale told by survivors - an epic related by those who explored and hacked out a way
through a howling wilderness, built cabins, cleared land, planted crops, and fought for survival against European armies and five
tribal nations. They formed their own government, meted out justice and mercy, and, ultimately survived. We, their children, and
those who came after, live today to enjoy this rich and verdant land where all are free.
