Driving through Ohio on a trip following the path of Johnny Appleseed, Isaac Fitzgerald stops into a bar where a crowd at least twenty years his senior drops some knowledge on him.
Indian Lake was severely damaged in a March tornado a couple years ago, and there were several deaths because of it. It really took a long time to come back from that. And the land acknowledgement is accurate, and there are different ways of doing it. I have never seen a state do it as well as Minnesota and most of Canada as well. The area I am in in Ohio is like one long Indian trail up and down the rivers. Thanks for sharing.
Today, I stopped , clicked on your email, and immediately was caught up in your world of words and couldn't stop until I finished. WOW! Sharing this with my adult daughters' and anyone else who loves a good story which is most of my friends. Thanks, Issac!
Nice essay, "interesting" stop. Naming! You put your foot in that, dude...
I grew up in Oklahoma, and (by family legend), am part-Cherokee. You wouldn't want to go into that in Oklahoma, either. Some dark times, not ever really resolved. Or over.
Anyway. I put your book on the possible list, and signed up for a freebie drawing at Goodreads. So who knows? Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the book launch!
Great story! I live not too far from Indian Lake, but never paid much attention to the street names. As someone else mentioned, Ohio is rich in Native history, which I appreciate more and more as I get older. Looking forward to reading your book.

Fun reading but sheeeeit! Bridges, fields and street signs but no picture of the bartender?
Probably if you had asked her you’d be out on your ass much sooner and have no story to tell.

This book is fantastic. Almost done and don’t want it to end! Yay Isaac. Come see us in Cleveland! XO
Immediately bought the book on Kindle. Loved the tale.

Thanks for sharing. Lovely reminder of a fleeting world.
Great fun
Reminds me of Kerouac’s On The Road. Excellent!
