Thank you Tara for these untold stories of men and women who helped win the war of independence from England! Thank you for this story about Francis Vigo, I had never heard of him and his contributions to the Revolutionary war.

New information for me. Thank you Tara. I don't believe that I have ever heard of Francis Vigo before but I am thankful to you Tara. May Mr. Vigo's contributions to our nation be known to all.

The fur traders all helped expand the frontier. They were brave men!

So much of our history is overlooked, forgotten or perhaps deemed unimportant. I’m glad you take the time to research and share the lives and events that had an impact on gaining and preserving freedom, Tara. Vigo helped in so many ways and ended up losing financially. Not many today would be willing to give so much. Thankful for the patriots throughout history who valued freedom and were willing to do whatever they could to preserve it. Vigo was obviously one such person.

Well, Tara, you've done it again. Educated me with info I've never heard before. Never knew there was any Revolutionary War activities in the western part of the country. Many thanks for all you do.
