Move The Land Office

Fort Harrod Reconstruction In Kentucky

From The Kentuckians by Janet Holt Giles:

"They have thought to pacify us by promising to move the land office to Harrodstown.  They know in reason we have been anxious to turn settlers our way, as who wouldn't.  It's but natural we'd ruther see ourselves grow as Boonesburg.  But makes no difference where they put their dratted land office!  The colonel give me his word they wouldn't go up on their prices, nor change any of the conditions they first stated.  And now they're doing it.  My men are riled up a heap over it, and ready to pull out."
