My claim to fame will be that I followed the unraveling of the @classic33 story before it became a best selling book and film.

Jonathan Forster, the engine wright who was one of three people who built the world's oldest surviving steam locomotive, is an ancestor of mine.
The other side if my family is descended from the Clarks, as in shoes.

It's what he set out to prove, but to admit digging a fort up would have had him in trouble.

It's long been my understanding that if you mess with fairy forts the authorities are the least of your worries.

As a descendent of Biddy Early, he may have thought he'd some protection not afforded to others, when he set out to prove them wrong.

Oddly enough, he wasn't around long afterwards.
