The Bramble Bush
So named because the families of Marion County "don't make a forest of separate family trees; they make a thoroughly intertwined bramble bush - often as tangled as honeysuckle or as thorny as greenbriar"
( Vicki Roberts BB issue Vol 1 No 4 Oct 1996)
Past Front Page Stories Include:
The First Six Years of MCAHS
Marion County Past
Marion County As She Was in 1836
The Tutt, King and Everett War
La Riviere Blanche (the White River)
Vicki uses the old "serial" approach to her stories and leaves you "cliff hanging" until the next issue.
