The Laird of Glen Campbell ( and Master of the Rhinestone mines) meets his scouts. They tell him that the Queen’s enemies are nearby mustering men in Glen Ford. The Laird hesitates not , riding his favourite spotted horse for home. He has troops to gather and a battle ahead...
Some fascinating possibilities in Glenn Campbell! Do they pass a Wichitaw Lineman, sizing up very tall straight pine trees for a beacon system of telegraph poles? Or is the Witchitaw Line a defensive fallback of prepared positions?
ReplyDeleteAre there cow boys or girls for the Rhinestone Cows?
Is there cattle rustling on the borders?
The word Wichitaw is a corruption of Wappinshaw ( a mustering of men and their weapons) and a Wiichitaw Lineman is one charged with drilling troops at a Wappinshaw.
ReplyDeleteI once had a picnic in Glen Campbell , very scenic !
ReplyDeleteDid you see the cairn commemorating the battle ?
DeleteI do like that spotted horse! It really sets the Laird apart from his men! I look forward to the battle!
ReplyDeleteHe does stand out , hope not too much for the battle to come...
DeleteDoes the Laird of Glen Campbell have any Summer Knights in his retinue?
ReplyDeleteAh those Summer Knights, tell me more, tell me more...
DeleteThe nearby heights of Ben Affleck and Ben Kingsley will be excellent places from which to observe the action.
ReplyDeleteExcellent vantage points indeed , you know the area?
DeleteAh....The Farce is strong here, I find.
