back year before to Virginia by one Of the
same party Soon after their arrival Boone
and one OIL his companions are captured by the
Indians, and escape within a year. One of the
party being shot, so dispirited the rest, they re.
solved to depart to the settlements. Not so,
however, Boone, who resolved, come what may,
to remain. He was left alone with nature.
The scenery by which the intrepid hunter was
surrounded, with no white mans eye to gaze
upon the natural beauties, or white mans ear
to hear the sounds of animated nature, save
that of the hunter, was sublime and beautiful.
He was alone with nature. Near him are the
deer licks---a herd Of buffalo approach-the
cry Of the panther, the bowling of the wolves,
and the scream Of the night birds are heard
He needs them not. Another and more dan
gerous enemy is upon his trail-the Indians
thirst for his blood, for they have determined
that the foot of the white man shall never pro
fame the soil which they intend keeping for
their hunting grounds. His nights are spent
in various ways and various places-now
shielded by rude hut Of his own construction
from the raging storm-now with the green
sward for his couch, and the ethereal canopy
for covering, and again among the branches
of some old gnared oak, he seeks to elude the
pursuit of his foes, ever on his track. The
months are spent by him alone with nature
and who can tell the thoughts, the reflections,
the communings of the poet-hunter, during the
hours of his solitude, but he who would be
strong and daring enough to remain alone with
nature?
In 1873 he returned to Virginia, in order to
bring his family and whatever number Of
friends we're willing to join in his enterprise
and share his fortunes to his new home. Five
families and about forty followers accompanied
him. Their entire route was beset with danger
everywhere the foe was met with-the whirl-
ing tomahawk and frighful scalping-knife
cleaned through the air, and the new soil is
consecrated with the choicest blood of the
provinces. 1t is no longer called the Indians
hunting ground, but the white mans battle
field
