THE FIGHTING KENTUCKIAN (1949)

A story involving a returning Kentucky militia unit from combating the British and the Creek. It included John Breen, a Kentucky militiaman, who falls in love with a French exile, Fleurette de Marchand. He discovers a plot to steal the land that Fleurette's exiles plan to settle on. Breen is mistaken for a land surveyor and is presented with a surveyor's theodolite and sets out with Willie to look as if they are surveying (they do not actually know what to do).
