The goal is to combine the known public information about the forts and stations with detailed information from individual family histories and genealogies that may not be public. These histories and genealogies are rich with details about ancestors who lived, worked and fought at these forts and stations.


To gain some insight into the detail that can be added to our knowledge check out the article on [[Soloman Litton]] and note all the links that were created from this one article.
