Tracking Andrew Fox

Andrew Fox arrived in Greene County, Tennessee, probably in 1786. The questions are: Who was this mysterious man? Where did he come from? And who claims him as an ancestor? The author's narrative tracks Andrew from his ancestors to his birth and through the major events in his life, ending with his death in Greene County.The narrative also illuminates the places and events in Andrew's life. Those were mostly in eighteenth century America, a time when clashes with Indians on the "Western Frontier" meant in Kentucky, Tennessee, and on the Ohio River. You will meet a few pioneer notables, including Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton and an angry Cherokee War Chief named Dragging Canoe. The author also briefly discusses Andrew's relationship with the Broyles family, and relevant subjects such as crime and punishment in Colonial times, travel by wagons and flatboats, frontier land acquisition and the white man's interactions with Indians.
