And, Ken, since I am no longer employed by the Oklahoma Historical Society and not bound to keep quiet about my opinion on this issue, if asked, I'll state my opinion as to where the battle took place.

(Or as Kenny A. Franks so eloquently pointed out: Why in the world would people fleeing for their lives get off a well traveled road between Edwards' Store and Skiatook's Camp and plunge headlong into the woods going across country that they had to hack their way through with axes which route would only have slowed down their progress??????)
