Who is Sheltowee??

Sheltowee is the name Daniel Boone was given by Chief Black Fish leader of the Chillicothe, aTribal member of the Shawnee Nation, when Boone was captured by the warring tribe.

You probably recognize the name Chief Black Fish as his entire stature, along with Daniel
Boone's, adorns the reverse of one of the United States Silver Commemorative Half Dollars, right?

Chief Black Fish is the Anglicanized name of the war chief. His name in his native (Chillicothe)tongue is Cot-ta-wa-ma-go and in Shawnee it's Mkah-day-way-may-qua.

Daniel Boone's Chillicothe name of Sheltowee translates to the English equivalent of Big Turtle.

When the Shawnees were defeated by Virginia in Dunmore's War in 1774, the resulting peace
treaty made the Ohio River the boundary between western Virginia (what is now Kentucky andWest Virginia and American Indian lands in the Ohio Country. Although this treaty was agreed toby the Shawnee Nation leaders such as Cornstalk, Blackfish and a number of other tribal leadersrefused to acknowledge the loss of their traditional hunting grounds in Kentucky.

Violence along the border escalated with the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775.
As a result, the Chillicothe moved their village on the Sciota River further west to the Little Miami
River, near what is now Xenia, Ohio. Encouraged and supplied by Britishofficials in Detroit,Michigan, Blackfish and others launched raids against American settlers in Kentucky, hoping todrive them out of the region. In revenge for the murder of Cornstalk by American militiamen inNovember 1777, Blackfish set out on an unexpected winter raid in Kentucky, capturing American
frontiersman Daniel Boone and a number of others on the Licking River on February 7, 1778.
Boone, respected by the Shawnees for his extraordinary hunting skills, was taken back to Chillicothe, adopted into the tribe and given the name Sheltowee.

Boone escaped in June 1778 when he learned that Blackfish was launching a siege on the Kentucky settlement of Boonesborough, Kentucky, which commenced in September of that year. The
siege of Boonesborough was unsuccessful, and the Kentuckians, led by Colonel John Bowman,
counterattacked the Chillicothe the following spring. This raid was also unsuccessful, but Blackfish was shot in the leg, a wound which became infected eventually leading to his death.
