A meeting in Glen Campbell...

 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...

  1. 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?
    Are there cow boys or girls for the Rhinestone Cows?
    Is there cattle rustling on the borders?

  2. 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.

  6. The nearby heights of Ben Affleck and Ben Kingsley will be excellent places from which to observe the action.
