Located in Adair County State Park. Who is Stilwell? This question
has often kept us up late at night pondering the unknown
possibilities; and finally we found the answer on the internet.
Arthur Stilwell was as mysterious as he was fantastic. In just
seven short years, he went from pauper to millionaire, built
thousands of miles of railroads, and founded forty towns. He never
made a move, however, without consulting his “unseen friends.”
Arthur was born to poor, but thrifty, Indiana farmfolk. He never
really wanted for anything, but he never really had anything,
either. Life was one long unassuming, monotonous event, and he
fully believed his destiny lay in the farming ideology of his
father. All that, however, changed when the voices began. Arthur
began hearing the strange voices when he was fifteen. First coming
to him quietly in unusually vivid dreams, they left him completely
bewildered and slightly afraid. With a vague sense of unease and
unreality, he kept the voices to himself. Over time, the voices
sometimes came when he was sitting beside the table lamp trying to
read. Before the year was out, they had intruded into his conscious
thought as well. He eventually learned to call them whenever the
whim took his fancy, becoming as familiar with them as the
well-worn boots on his feet. But the truth is, without his inner
voices guiding his actions, he would have remained a penniless
store clerk instead of millionaire railroad builder. Without his
unseen friends, he would have lost his railroad at Galveston,
instead of founding the bustling seaport which now bears his name
at Port Authur. Without his unseen friends, Arthur Stilwell would
have been a nobody. We are looking for a book he wrote, “The Light
That Never Failed,” which became a long-time best seller, published
in the early 1900's. ***********Congrats go again to ninjaguy amd
