- In this episode we read from a story published in "Historical Sketches of Kentucky" by Lewis Collins, about the capture of Daniel Boone's daughter, and a later incident where Daniel Boone and about 25 saltmakers were captured at the Blue Licks.
We also read an article published in The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, published in 1985 by William Dodd Brown.

Fascinating stories far more interesting than most of the rubbish Hollywood comes out with. Thank you for bringing actual worthy history to our attention.
Real history is much more informative and interesting than what I learned in school back when I was a kid.
1600 & 1700's American history is my absolute favourite period. Everything was unknown, unexplored, challenging, untouched and wild.
I so agree with you !
I see you wrote the word favorite including an u. Would you be from Great Britain or Canada?

Revolutionary war pension application? Wow, they had that back then?
Have you ever heard of the author Allan Eckert if you love this time period you will love his books
1)the frontiersmen..the story of Simon Kenton
2)the dark and bloody river..the bloody history of the Ohio River
3) a sorrow in our hearts...on the life of Tecumseh
Another fascinating story. The birthplace of Daniel Boone is outside of Reading Pennsylvania. The cabin or a recreated cabin stands on the land. He was born and brought up a Quaker. Learned to deal with Indians while a boy.
Growing up in Harrodstown, now Harrodsburg, Kentucky, there was a play presented all Summer, at the Old Fort Harrod State Park ampitheatre entitled, The Legend of Daniel Boone. The stage had a portion of fort wall and shrubs and live trees growing around. The Indians of Blackfish and Cheif Pluggy, would attack the fort in the finale, throwing lit torches over the wall and settler's firing back with blank black powder guns. Lot's of noise and excitement! What a great appreciation I now have for this channel, as so many of these narratives I learned as a child.
Thank You. Keep up the good work. I love History.
Last and most important part of my research Daniel Boone ( 1734 - 1820 )he was American pioneer and frontier man who exploits made him one of first heroes of USA . He became famous for his exploration and settlement of Kentucky, which was beyond western borders of thirteen colonies. In 1775 Boone blazed wilderness road through Cumberland gap into Kentucky in face of resistance from American Indians for whom area . Was traditional hunting ground . He founded bonnes borough one of first English speaking settlement west of Appalachian mountains. By end of 18 th century. More than 200 , 000 people had entreaded Kentucky by following route marked by bonne . Battle of Blue Licks fought in 1782 . It’s one of battles of American Revolutionary War . Battle occurred ten months after Lord Cornwallis surronder at York town , which had effectively ended war on hill next to liking river now called Robertson county , Kentucky than faytte county Virginia. Force of 100 loyalists along with 300 indigenous warriors and ambushed routed militantmen who were partially led by Daniel Boone. It was last victory for loyalists and natives during frontier war . British , loyalists and natives forces would engage in fighting with American forces once more following month in wheeling West Virginia, during siege of fort Henry . Iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as none native speakers. Ihope you like my research. Good luck to you your dearest ones .
I like your research, Good job. 🤠🖖 ♨️
@KAH56 ...I live on the Kentucky side of the Cumberland Gap. I live about a mile from the tunnel. My family came through the Gap. They stayed in the mountains. They were Scots-Irish. They settled about 40 miles north of where I'm at. You probably already know that it's a National Park.
@@maxinefreeman8858 my name is khatoon. Actually I love to read and make researches as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English. I always keeping notebooks and pen beside me and looking up in google. It’s great ideas guys did you agree
@@cowboykelly6590 thank you for your kindness.
Again, great job.
Thank you.
UNWORTHY HISTORY IS WORTHY. 🤠🖖 ♨️
The artworks really help tell the events
I had a distant relative, Bazel Boring, that married Daniel Boone's wife's sister. He went on long hunts with him. It seems that he sometimes was accompanied by his wife; no other women were with the party.
Excellent reporting. Keep up the good work
Amazing story, enjoyed
Wow just amazing work
Thank you
I live in southwest VIRGINIA in Lee county where James Boone was killed by a mixture of Shawnee and Cherokee warriors. One of these warriors, Big Jim, a shawnee who had shared a fire with Daniel many times...
I cannot remember exactly how many more were killed..the Mendenhall brothers ,Henry Russell, Samuel drake,and whiteside Hargis i believe...whitesides wife and sons and charles a slave were all taken captive...i would love to hear this story told and any stories about Martins station which is also in Lee,county. Thank you for sharing these heros of untold history!
Time for my coffee with homemade cherry walnut pie, and the smooth and velvety voice of Dr. Worthy. Perfectly timed.
Love listening to your voice as you read these old stories. It is apparent you are a history lover. Thank you.
Love ya, man...
Thus I am obliged to tell you Chillicothe is not Chill-coat but Chill-uh-koth-ee. Just sayin'.
I think this another reason why young people are listening to old music truth is much stranger than fiction we don't know where we are until we know where we've been
You have a 2nd sense as to subject matter. Luv it!!
I was happy to see a Worthy post. 😎👏👂
Another great video, thank you.
Great story
Great content Brother!
I went there as a teenager - my mom thought I looked like mrs boone ... This was a very nive place to visit
Great vid Thanks!
I enjoyed this one, TY sir.
I was trying to make a timeline as you read, but found it quite difficult. Seemed there were quite a few circle backs in this account.
The followup stories of the captured salt miners were a nice finish. I was unaware of hostilities as far south as KY after the Rev War "ended". Always love learning new info.
I think Dusquene is pronounced Doo Kane. Sounds French! Now I have to follow up on this Henry Hamilton, Brit Lt Gov of Detroit fellow.
I loved your video. So I subscribed. Thank you.
Chillicothe is pronounced [CHILL-eh-KOTH-ee] and 'Quebec' is pronounced in Canada as [kuh-BECK].
And it's not Doo kes nee ... it's Doo kayn.
Excellent thanks
Excellent stuff. Quite remarkable how the natives of the NE treated their prisoners so much more humanely than those of the SE Indians 200 years later. Prisoners held more value for a Fur-based economy that had inter-acted with European stock for some time while the SE was largely based on horses and not on living men.
They learned to hate by our example to them.
@@judieversaul4274 Believe they had developed their treatment of prisoners long before any Europeans arrived
@@judieversaul4274I’m 5th generation Texan and our state/republic had some of the fiercest, cruelest and most formidable of all the natives. The Apaches were the dominant tribe when the Spanish first came into Texas/Northern Mexico in the 1500’s. The Apaches killed, tortured and raided so much that the Spanish made very little progress in settling Texas i er the course of 200-300 years until Mexico gained independence around 1820. The Comanches had become the dominant tribe by sometime in the 1700’s due to all the horses that had been stolen from or abandoned by the Spanish. They did not learn their cruelty, hatred or warlike ways from Europeans. The tortures that they invariably inflicted on men they captured alive were so horrible and over the top, it’s difficult to imagine someone doing that to any human being simply for the enjoyment of the process. Keeping a man alive for two-three days while burning, cutting and other excruciating methods was not uncommon among the Comanches or Apaches. Tying someone to a pole and suspending them a few feet over hot coals and turning them slowly was a favorite. They were cooked alive over a two or three day period.
Brilliant 👍
I read the Daniel Boone legend when I was about 12 but it wasn't
until I worked on a family history I discovered my ancestors
along with his brother, Squire Boone pioneered Southern
Indiana. They faced similar trials as Daniel but one reason
why they left Kentucky was their land they homesteaded.
were lost because of technicalities they weren't aware of.
Great story 😊
My family had a plot on the Kentucky river in Boonesborough. There was a creek on our property that ran into the river there. It was at the mouth of that creek that the Indians captured Boone’s daughter and the other girls.
Great that you're telling our history, greatly appreciate it. This is how the five pronunciation is just like it's written no ō it's ã. Here as the city its ē
Chalahgawtha (or, more commonly in English, Chillicothe[pronunciation?]) was the name of one of the five divisions (or bands) of the Shawnee, a Native American people, during the 18th century. It was also the name of the principal village of the division. The other four divisions were the Mekoche, Kispoko, Pekowi, and Hathawekela. (All five division names have been spelled in a great variety of ways.) Together these divisions formed the loose confederacy that was the Shawnee tribe.
Chillicothe division
Chillicothe villages
That was great.Never heard any of that before in my 80 years and having been born in Ky. I think all l knew was Fess Parker and the coonskin hat and the song, all from the 50’s.
Brilliant
I have been to Boonesborough, in Madison County,many times. There is a small beach there now on the Kentucky River. 17:21
I'm just learning about my ancestors. Thank you. My ancestor was Fredrick Fraley who was part of castle's woods/for. Moore. Fraley purchased the fort from Moore after the revolutionary War.
Great series! So interesting. However, I listened to this one twice and never heard anything about Daniel Boones daughter yet the title suggests she will be talked about
😂Unsure how you missed it as it is the very first story.😉 (1m 44s)
Thanks for this history 👍
Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel . We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English as well. I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s actually Daniel Boone daughter captured by Shawnee Indians . Capture and rescue of Jemima bonne , Callaway girls is famous incident in colonial history of Kentucky. Three girls were captured by Cherokee, Shawnee raiding party on 14 of July 1776 and rescued three days later by Daniel Boone party , celebrated for their success. Daniel Boone daughter Jemima, Richard Callaway daughters Betsy, Fanny. Left fort bonnes borough to canoe on Kentucky river . They drifted close to bank neat this spot by five native Americans and taken north . Mathew pear best selling author acclaimed novel the Dante club , explores little known story of kidnapping of legendary pioneer Daniel daughter after dramatic aftermath that rippled across nation .
That's fascinating. 🤠🖖 ♨️
If the book was published in 1848 how can it tel of something that happened 30 years later? Did you get your dates mixed up?
Hello, anybody there? Daniel Boone did not wear a coonskin cap! (Picture is wrong), he is my Ancestor!😊
Chill a caw theeeee
My wife’s paternal (bear with me, as I have to put enough ‘G’s in the right places without the family tree chart in front of me) GGGGrandfather was with D. Boone and J. Denton as a soldier and salt digger at Blue Lick. He (they) built the first settlement fort a short ways west of the river, he was a ‘May’. They stayed and he built/founded the ferry there, eventually founding what is now ‘Maysville’ and the family began to build merchantile stores in what is now West Virginia (under British monarchy land claim everything west was part of Virginia)
His son and one of his son’s (her Great Grandfather) went to California in 1849/1850, likely by paddleboat ( bear in mind- NO Panama Canal then, the side wheel steamers had to go all the way to the end of South American through treacherous waters of the Antarctic and then steam up to San Francisco. Whether by water or overland, very dangerous journeys) I haven’t seen any references to how much, if any, gold they may have found, but they came back a couple of years later, but they were prosperous and had money. As the nation continued west to settlement areas and tensions were rising over slavery into the new territories, choices were made as to which side families would support, but the war and Lincoln’s election, amongst many other issues, stoked the divisions, including her family ancestors.
Her GreatGrandfather was named “Andrew Jackson May” and he chose to support the Confederacy. (Now let’s get something straight for clarity, President Andrew Jackson, whom Col. May was obviously named after, was a bastard tyrant and a bully. On both sides of my family heritage are Cherokee and Choctaw on my dad’s side and Cherokee, Poquoson and Powhatan on my mother’s side. Her ancestry goes all the way back to John Rolph and Pocohantas, so it ain’t hard to figure out how I feel about Andrew Jackson. However, it took hard working, tough ass men and women to found and expand this nation, nobody’s hands are truly clean. AND- We are ALL homogeneous mixtures of those many perished that came before us. So there!) Anyway, A.J. May helped found and finance the 5th Kentucky Infantry, C.S.A. and fought in many major and minor battles. My mom is from Patrick County, she grew up hardscrabble, the family working their butts off to scratch food out of rocks. No modern conveniences, no indoor plumbing, slop jars and chamber pots in the winter and at night. (If you went outside in the dark it’s a good bet something hungry and toothy might getcha’! Her nanny kept a fire in the front yard with a black pot kettle and #3 tubs on it, they dipped water from the stream out front or the mill pond up the road a bit. They raised apples, pears, peaches, PawPaws, picked blackberries in season, she killed her first chicken when she was 7. Her and her brother walked 3-1/2 miles to school and back in Stuart. Her GreatGrandfather and 11 brothers and cousins joined the 51st Virginia Infantry, Co. D, C.S.A. and ironically they fought with the 5th Kentucky at the Battle of Princeton, Saltworks, in the Valley Campaign on the southwest side, and numerous skirmishes up and down those rugged mountains and valleys. Mom enjoys her modern conveniences of flushable toilets, hot water, electric lamps and stoves, heat and A/C, shoes that fit and cars to ride in. She doesn’t want to go back to living like that again.
Anyway, by happenstance chance and God’s Grace my wife and I met far away from those places, 38 years, 3 kids and a few grandchildren later, God has Blessed us. BTW- there’s a book about the May side of her family and her GGF, by Robert Peery, titled ‘Jack May’s War’, it details a lot of the May family history. The Colonel had 17 children from his first marriage (poor woman!) and after she passed away, like in his late 60’s or early 70’s, married a much younger woman (actually pretty common back then, there’s a story on my dad’s side of the family too!) and to prove the ol’ cat wasn’t shooting any blanks, had like five more kids with her! But my wife’s Grandmother was from the first marriage. Anyway, the book is a pretty interesting read on how Kentucky was settled and how the war changed it. There’s an absolutely hilarious story about my wife finding out she had a bunch of Confederates in her background, trust me, they weren’t the subject of those early “we won, y’all lost” conversations in our relationship.
As a side note, in someone’s writings and accounts of Daniel Boone’s early hunting forays up the Clinch, Kanawa and Ohio River valleys, there is an account of him shooting and killing “ a giant hairy man of exceptional features, 7 feet tall and more than 350 pounds “ (if I’ve got the quote right) Did Daniel Boone kill a Sasquatch?
Good stuff here! However, as a historian and an Ohioan, you should check your pronunciation of words. Chillicothe is not-“Chill-Kothe” it’s “Chill-Uh-Koth-Ee.” Scioto is not “Skee-Oh-toh” it’s “Psy-Oh-tuh.” and Duquesne is definitely NOT “Do-kez-knee” it’s “Due-Kane.” You can look these words up on Google and get their proper pronunciations. Great stuff otherwise! 👍🏼❤️🫡
I was thinking the same. It was a distraction to me.
LoL Are you the pronunciation police?
But was Colonel Boome's legendary architectural hydrology design used to protect the fort with the attackers own strategy possibly inspired by alien beings? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say: "yes."
Excellent video, i noticed that you showed the location of present day Chillicothe as the place where they took boone as a prisoner. That wasnt the location of Chillicothe at that time, it is located at oldtown, which is just north of Xenia. That was the location of the original Chillicothe. There are markers there, there was a huge indian village there, Tecumseh was born just south of there. Here is a link to the video of the spot th-cam.com/video/SSrH3QnwAKQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=guGcj3ezKeMxFPsJ
Was coming to the comments to say exactly this. Chillicothe was the name of the Shawnee capitol no matter where it was located, which leads to a lot of confusion because of the current actual city of Chillicothe. I grew up about 30 min south of Xenia and have been there often... nice catch!
@jasond1433 thank you!!!
Old town was pronounced like CHILL A KAWTHEE not Chilly Co
Chillecothe is pronounced Chill -- e -- co --- the. The "co--the" is two syllables. The "co" is pronounced cau, as in coffee.
Spellchecked myself. Chillecothe should be Chillicothe.
Chill-a-coth- ee
Duquesne (sp), and Chillicothe, mispronounced.
and many other words
That's pronounced chilla koth ee
It's pronounced doo kayn, not doo kes nee.
name pronunciations, please...
Please note Chillicothe Ohio is pronounced Chill-a-KOTH-ee *Chill Uh Koth Ee*
It’s killing me…. the proper pronunciation of the town Chillicothe is NOT chill coath (2 syllables), but rather chill uh kaw thee (3 syllables).
Yeah I really got that wrong - that's 4 syllables, though, not 3.
Chill ih co the
well my history teacher used to say , how history to brink it back to today reality .We can say boonesboro was like israel stealing land from palestine ...
But who stole and murdered Bible
constant folks ; if Palest. have their place Bible should have their farms, business buildings, and residences back.
Those Canadians lololol 😆
Do-caine
Unclear 🤔
I like you stories, but you should really learn the pronunciation of the towns and rivers
look up the words your pronunciation is lacking
As informative as this is, unfortunately the reader is putting folks to sleep. He needs a tone of enthusiasm as if he was there and experienced the tale himself. Though he is certainly articulate, his reading is humdrum and frankly boring 😟.
Find another channel then.
We like his style.
