I plotted Isaac Brewer's 80 acres, in proximity with his neighbors and the farm of his son, Joseph Brewer. ~A park ranger told me that Isaac's land is now a pine plantation~

A map I drew showing the location of Isaac Brewer's land ~also his neighbors and son, Joseph, ca. 1850~

During the summer of 2015, we drove from our home in northern Alberta, Canada to "The South", a round trip of over 9000 miles. During part of this amazing 25 day road trip we visited Talladega County, Alabama for research purposes and to do our best to find Isaac's land and view it for ourselves.  For photos, GPS coordinates, and pictorial directions of how to get there, please go here.
