A hidden village lies just beneath the clouds, above the valley on top of mineral rich mountains. Tiny ambers fly across the hills from a nearby wildfire. Strange flames spark a tale of an African American cowboy's legacy. Arriving in the early 1850's as runaway slaves, Stanley & Wilkens found a village on the top of an obscure mountain range. High above sea level on the flat mountaintops rest thousands of acres. Many slaves escaped to the north. Some were lucky enough to never get caught. Others were even luckier to make it to secret Grandmother Land. This place held special roots. An ancient land in the clouds full of rivers, streams, lakes, forest and jungles. From fields, to dunes, trees, cacti, cabins and igloos, this place had everything. It was the closest to the moon. Copper skin Aboriginal Indians were the first settlers here before the Transatlantic and Indigenous slave trades. Grandmother Land provided everything for man. It was left vacant for nearly 250 years until Stanley & Wilkens escaped the chains of captivity. They stole a five horse pulled wagon and managed to get their entire families to freedom. Both families were generations of hard working men and even stronger women who soon founded the County of Hollow Hills.
