Book excerpt: You may not have ever heard of Lewis Tackett. He didn't keep ledgers for us to read as did his friend, Daniel Boone. He didn't aspire to high political office as many others did. The highest political rank he attained was Justice of the Peace and his highest military rank was captain. However, he lived during a time when our nation was being formed. When men and women of great strength, courage, and determination were needed to forge a new way of life. Lewis had all of these traits in abundance, and the energy and spirit of adventure to use them. He was an extraordinary man. Almost all of the events in this book actually happened and are well documented. Lewis Tackett is buried near Lewisville, in Henry County, Indiana. His original memorial marker gave his age as, "99 years, 4 months and 21 days", and included the inscription, "A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER".
