		<description><![CDATA[John W. Ogden, the writer of the 1881 history of Champaign County, was interested in some of the same details as I am &#8212; such as exactly where on the landscape did the events of long ago take place? In the following section he describes the use that was made of Urbana&#8217;s &#8220;Lot No. 104&#8243; <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2009/01/14/lot-104/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By bicycle it was about a 13 mile ride between the Shawnee encampment site and here. I don't know how much of my route, if any, would have been the path McPherson had taken to get there.

This site is on land that in 1874 was owned by a Kavanaugh. The stream is the Mad River. Not that there is any point in getting hung up on an exact location. Another passage in the 1881 history says McPherson's place was on the Samuel Black farm:]]></description>
