Re: Old Stone Fort by Partlow on Sunday, 28 August 2005

Even though I don't respond to Anonymous comments (they usually, but not always, being "crank" ravings by those ashamed of their behavior), I must admit a mistake in writing that Old Stone Fort is Southeast of Manchester. I correct this to be Southwest of Manchester with sincere apologies to all. As for it being on the Highland Rim, it is. But to mention this as a correction of my mentioning Cumberland Plateau is absurd. I did not say it was on the Cumberland Plateau but only that it was "at the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau" which of course is at the eastern edge of the Highland Rim at that location(seperated by approx. 10 miles by a narrow valley called the Barrens). There are countless websites listing Coffee County as a Cumberland Plateau county as well as a Highland Rim county. Some references I used are:
