My Footsteps Have Often Been Marked With Blood: Daniel Boone and the American Revolution in Kentucky
Cost: $5.50 for Online Event Access
Speaker: Dan Davis, American Battlefield Trust
No one is more closely associated with the early frontier than Daniel Boone. Boone’s ventures beyond the Allegheny Mountains established him as one of the preeminent long hunters of his day. Although well removed from the thirteen colonies, Boone could not help but be swept up in the struggle for independence. Beginning in 1777, Native American tribes, supported by British and Loyalist forces, began to launch raids against the settlements in Kentucky, aptly known as the Bloody Ground. Over the next five years, Boone’s actions during the Revolutionary War contributed to his growing fame but at a tremendous personal cost.
Join Dan Davis, the Trust’s Principal, Interpretation and Special Projects, for an exploration of Boone’s life during this pivotal time that contributed to him becoming an American legend.
