She did not recognize him with his filthy clothes, his beard and long hair a mess. 10. What was the nickname for Daniel Boone’s rifle? He nicknamed his rifle Ticklicker, because one settler claimed Daniel was so sharp a shot, he could shoot tick off a bear’s nose three hundred feet away. 11. Why did Daniel and other men from Boonesborough go to the Licking River? They needed salt for the meat, so it would not go bad. They had very little food at this time during the winter. 12.

When did Daniel begin to wear buckskin clothes? The Quakers were friendly with the Indians from the Delaware tribe.

He got lost and needed to be rescued by Indians. 17. Why did the Shawnee think that John and Daniel were thieves? England’s king made a treaty with the Shawnee. The king of England promised that the settlers would not move beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Daniel and John were trespassing on Shawnee hunting grounds. 18. How did the Shawnee try to defeat Boonesborough? Did it work? The Shawnee tried to set the fort on fire with burning arrows. The settlers were running low on water trying to put out the fires.

    Edward A. Galloway Published in Manuscripts, Vol. 70, No. 3 (Summer 2018) John Filson’s Kentucke: Internet Search Uncovers “Hidden” Manuscripts In 2010 the University Library System (ULS) at the University of Pittsburgh embarked on an ambitious mission: to digitize the content of the Darlington Memorial Library. Presented to the university via two separate gifts, in 1918 and 1925, the Darlington library has become the anchor of the Archives and Special Collections Department within the university library. Comprised of thousands of rare books, manuscripts, maps, broadsides, atlases, lithographs, and artwork, the library showcased the collecting passions of the Darlington family who lived in Pittsburgh during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The patriarch, William M. Darlington (1815-1889), was born in Pittsburgh and practiced law in Allegheny County. A passionate collector, William M. Darlington found his equal in Mary Carson O’Hara (1824- 1915), whom he married in 1845.1 They subsequently moved into a newly-constructed Italianate home just a few miles up the Allegheny River from Downtown Pittsburgh. Here, they raised three children, O’Hara, Mary, and Edith, all recipients of their parents’ love of history and bibliophiles to the core. Having married into a wealthy family, Mr. Darlington retired from his law career in 1856 to manage the estate of his wife’s grandfather, James O’Hara, whose land holdings encompassed a major portion of Pittsburgh.2 He would devote most of his adult life to collecting works of Americana, especially that which documented western Pennsylvania. Even the land upon which he built his estate, passed down to his wife, dripped with history having been the last home of Guyasuta, a Seneca chief.3 The Darlingtons eventually amassed the “largest private library west of the Alleghenies” containing nearly 14,000 volumes.

Sincerely, Marty Marchaterre Environmental Planner (859) 684-9387 [email protected] OVERVIEW Kentucky’s natural resources are a tourism draw for residents of the Commonwealth and visitors alike. The Licking River watershed is home to navigable waters, interesting plant and animal species, attractive geological features, fascinating historical and archeological stories, and an overall natural beauty. The Licking River, along with the South Fork of the Licking River and Stoner Creek from Paris, Kentucky to the Ohio River near Cincinnati, Ohio (hereafter referred to as the Study Corridor), has the potential to be promoted for outdoor recreation and tourism through fishing, boating, bird watching, heritage tourism, and educational opportunities, to name a few.

  • Profiles for Counties in the Licking
    Major Licking River Watershed County Profiles The Licking River Watershed or River Basin physically includes Magoffin*, Morgan*, Rowan*, Bath*, Fleming*, Bourbon, Harrison*, Nicholas*, Robertson*, the majority of Pendleton*, and parts of Menifee*, Montgomery, Clark, Elliott, Lewis, Mason, Bracken, Campbell*, Kenton*, Boone, and Grant counties.1 The Licking River Region report also includes Gallatin and a portion of Carroll counties. Hinkston and Stoner Creeks join in Bourbon County to form the South Fork of the Licking River which joins the main stem in Falmouth. The North Fork joins the Licking River near Sunrise, north of Claysville, in Harrison County, around its northern border with Pendleton County. The North Fork forms the border between Bracken and Robertson counties. The Licking River was officially discovered by Thomas Walker in June of 1750 who named it Frederick’s River. The Native Americans called it Nepernine and used the river to transport goods for trade and to travel to the central Kentucky grassland areas for hunting. Charles Kerr’s History of Kentucky (1922) says that the Licking means “land with springs and meadows.” An earlier name, Great Salt Lick Creek, referred to the salt licks along the river. The Licking River was first officially surveyed in 1835. The Licking River is noted to be 320 miles long. The Licking River was an important route of transportation for timber operations that floated logs down the river to Covington. Cave Run Lake, the only impoundment on the river, was formed in 1974. It has a summer pool of approximately 8,200 acres. Cave Run Lake is one of the most productive muskie fisheries in the Eastern United States.

  • Learn More About John James Audubon
    “How could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books?” Birds of America, the culmination of 15 years of passionate study, was a mammoth undertaking. It cost $115,640 (approximately $2,000,000 today) and included 435 life- size prints of 497 bird species, engraved on copper plates by Robert Havell, Jr. and colored by an assembly line of 50 colorists. Printed on “double elephant” sized paper, Audubon laid out the images with an artist’s eye rather than by biological classification, reaping the scorn of ornithological purists, but winning praise even from King George IV. Scottish artist, John Syme, painted his portrait in frontier regalia (which now hangs in the White House). London’s Royal Society elected him a fellow. English and French noblemen became subscribers. “To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.” Life after Birds of America was a continuing roller coaster ride for Audubon. He reunited with his family in the United States only to return to England to find that many of his subscribers were in default and that he had lost others due to the poor quality of the coloring of the plates. Yet he continued to add to his collection of bird and wildlife drawings, exploring the west, the Florida coast, and Labrador, and publishing three more books, including an octavo edition of Birds of America that included 65 additional plates. “A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.” After his death, Lucy sold the New York Historical Society all of the 435 preparatory watercolors for Birds of America.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
