man was killed and two wounded, one
of which was mortally; the other, with
tho women and the rest OF the men, got
into the fort
The man whowas mostally wounded was
left on the ground, as the party were
unable to bring him Oh. His name was
Burr Harrison. The Indians were a.
fraid to attempt to approach the woun-
ded man. as he was witnn rifle shot OF
the fort, and in open view. After some
time. he was discovered attempting to
rise, when Logan, who had in vain en-
deayored to excite party to aid him in
bringing in the wounded man, made
the attempt alone, and succeeded, in
the midst ola shower of bullets dischar-
ged at him by the Indians, without re-
ceiving any injury.
On the 4th Of July, Boonesborough
was besieged by about 200 Indians
They killed one white man and wound,
ed two. At that time there were only
% men in the fort. The siege lasted
two days, during which the Indians had
seven OF their party killed.
About this time, all the stations in the
country were besieged, for the obvious
purpose of preventing the People from
aiding each other.
On the 18th July, i777, Logan's sta
ton was again besieged by ab.ut 400
indians. There was at that time only
8 men in the fort, two of whom were
killed and one wounded.
One of the men killed was shot down
al the fort gate and scalped, and large
bundle of papers laid ca his breast.
These papers were proclamations from
Sir Guy Carleton ( Lord Dorchester) at
that time Commander ia Chief of all the
British forces in Canada, and addressed
to the People of Kentucky generally,
and to Clark and Logan by name. They
were kept secret by Gen. Logan for ma
ny years afterwards, for what reason is
not known.
About this time, Colonel john Bow
man arrived from Virginia at Logsn's
station with 100 men, most Of whose
time of service had expired on the road,
and was not considered as permanent
protection.
