As of 2020, the population was 19,170. The county seat is Tell City. It is the hilliest county as well as one of the most forested counties in Indiana as it features more than 60,000 acres of Hoosier National Forest. The Ohio River Scenic Byway along Indiana State Road 66 runs along the southern border of the county while Interstate 64 traverses the northern portion of the county. Connecting the two is Indiana State Road 37. The county features three incorporated communities: Tell City (2009 population 7,473), Cannelton (2009 population 1,130) and Troy (2009 population 379). Each is located in Troy Township which is situated along the south western corner of the county. In the 1950's and 1960's the populations were much larger, (TC 9900, Cannelton 2200, Troy 900) supported by the great, now shuttled, industries of Tell City Chair and Cannelton Sewer Pipe, and the building of the Ohio River Dam. What a great place and time to have spent my formative years. -- Smitty (with assistance from Wikipedia) SPY REPORT Good day, in LIN TIRIAN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as PERRY COUNTY is pushed out of top team by FAR TRAVELERS, who came from 2nd with a 3-1-0 this turn. And let's see, LILLY-DALE fought HELGA and gained 17 points and contributed to PERRY COUNTY's 2-1-1. HELGA has lost to LILLY-DALE, falling 12 points, while helping make FAR TRAVELERS a 3-1-0 turn. Well done, LIN TIRIAN, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps APRIL DANCER is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. ROTH challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone SAND DANCERS' warrior. We should ask ROTH about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Lost Hope Inn until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the PERRY COUNTY stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on LIN TIRIAN, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided PERRY COUNTY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was FAR TRAVELERS. Anyone surprised? FENNHAVEN of PERRY COUNTY had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge which it lost. I thought FENNHAVEN showed great skill and promise when it was defeated by KHARKIV. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in LIN TIRIAN, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in LIN TIRIAN again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROTH 3662 10 10 0 111 FAR TRAVELERS (394) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LILLY-DALE 3615 13 15 0 92 PERRY COUNTY (374) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HELGA 3686 9 2 2 67 FAR TRAVELERS (394) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ASTARA 3660 7 3 0 59 FAR TRAVELERS (394) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BRISTOW 3707 4 0 1 48 PERRY COUNTY (374) BIG ONE 3666 7 21 2 44 SAND DANCERS (68) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LEOPOLD 3702 4 1 2 41 PERRY COUNTY (374) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KHARKIV 3700 3 1 0 27 FAR TRAVELERS (394) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FENNHAVEN 3709 3 1 0 12 PERRY COUNTY (374) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
