left Kentucky In disgust. Spain had the
territory west of the Mississippi. and
there he went, settling on Femme Usage
creek, Mo. grant of LOCO arpents OF
land was made to him. and he was made
a syndic. He held this Office until the
cession Of Louisiana to the United States
They tell some droll stories OF how he
held court. Rules of evidence had no
weight with him. Sometimes he fined
both parties to case. He administered
law according to common sense as the
frontiersman knows it. He was primitive
and arbitrary, but the French and Span
ish knew his good heart and respected
him highly.
Boone had little reason to rejoice over
the cession of Louisiana to the United
States. He not only lost his office. but
again he lost his land. He had failed to
send the warrant granting the LOCO ar
penis to New Orleans for the signature
of the governor. The paper was signed
by the lieutenant governor, but was not
sufficient
But he did not despair The hunting
was good He was past seventy. but he
wandered far aield in his chase of game.
Sometimes he went into Kansas, some
times into Nebraska. Once he went TO
the foot of the Rockies. His dream was
to cross the great mountains. He had
heard Of the Yellowstone region and he
longed to get there. Congress, hearing
how he had lost his land. took pity OH
him. The Spanish grant was confirmed
to him as an act of justice to "a man
who had opened the way to millions OF
men,
Even after he was eighty years old he
went on his long hunts. usually being
gone months at a time.
He fretted because he was not permit
ted to enlist for service in the war OF
1872: he fretted too. because the tide OF
immigration was narrowing his hunting
grounds. He wanted TO move further
west, where there was elbow room for a
hunter, but his children would not per-
NIT him. He died September g. 1920. in
his eighty-sixth year. The convention for
drafting the constitution OF Missouri was
in session at st. Louis at the time. Upon
hearing of his death the convention ad-
journed for the day and the members
wore crepe for twenty days. Kentucky,
years after his death. had his bones re-
moved to Frankfort, where monument
now marks their resting place.

OF all the hunters and all the pathfnd-

the wood being too wet to burn when the
Indians, in their night attacks. applied
the torch. The women did almost as
much for the defense Of the fort as the
men. Every artifce known to the In
dians and every scheme that could be
suggested by the French Canadians was
tried without avail At the end OF ten
days the Indians in despair suddenly de-
parted. They left thirty-seven dead. How
many more were killed and wounded is
not known. In the fert were sixty per-
ing arms. Remarkable to relate Boone
lost only two killed and four wounded.
The Siege of Boonesborough has taken
Its place as western classic. Rarely
have Indians maintained siege so long
Rarely have whites maintained so stub
born defense with so little loss.
Never did the Indians attack Boones-
borough again. That one tragedy was too
costly ever to be forgotten.

vania Company having been declared void

get new warrants. While there he met
Hamilton, the Hair Buyer" who had
been captured at Vincennes by George
Rogers Clark and sent east a prisoner
Boone pleaded for better treatment for
the "hair buyer and got it. despite the
fact that the feeling was intensely bitter
against Hamilton at that time.

recaptured. and held captive for week
Then they were released. Boone COM
panion returned to the Yadkin, but Boone
remained in Kentucky. For year he
was alone. He had neither horse nor
dog, and was without bread, salt or SUI
gar. He changed his station frequently.
Sometimes he had a rude shelter of bark
or made his home In a cave. but gen.
orally he slept in the thicket. In his
wanderings he reached the falls of the
Ohio. where the city of Louisville now
is situated. 49,.
When Boone returned to civilization he
learned of the signing Of the Fort Stan
wix treaty. There was lot Of land ex-
element in Virginia and North Carolina
Western settlement filled the minds of
many people. He was content for several
years to 60 each year for long hunting
trip to Kentucky, but in 1773 he organized
a large expedition to establish a settle
ment in Clinch valley. While the settlers
were on the road a war party OF Shaw
nees killed five of the members. Among
those slain was Boone's eldest son James
This tragedy SO affected the members or
the expedition that all returned to Vlr-
ginia or North Carolina except Boone and
his family. He went on to Clinch river
and built a rude home. The following
spring the whole borderland of Virginia
was afiame with war.
The Shawnees and Mingos. wrought up
to a high pitch of excitement by atrocities
committed by frontier ruffians, began the
conflict which generally is known as Lord
Dunnore's war. Various bands of sur
veyors and land-site locators had VEN
tured far into Kentucky. To notify them
of their danger and guide them back to
the settlement Boone and another back
woodsman were engaged In sixty-one
days they travelled 500 miles, mostly
through an unbroken forest.
They gathered the various bands to-
gether and so skillfully piloted their
charges that they met with no mishap.
The victory at Point Pleasant practically
ended the war. Boone celebrated the VIC
tory by going on a long hunt.
His hunt over. Boone found himself in
sudden demand. Judge Richard Hender-
son of North Carolina had purchased from
lucky and had organized the Pennsylvania
Company. Boone was engaged to estab-
lish a road into the new territory and lay
out a capital for the colony. With force
Of thirty men he built the famous Wilder
ness road across the mountains and
through the forests, and on April 6, 1T75,
on the Kentucky river, at Big Lick, he
halted his party and laid out the town OF
Boonesborough. which was to be. the capt.
tai of Pennsylvania.

makers. They deserted. Next the CO.
lonial governors OF Virginia and North
Carolina denounced the Transylvanians
as land pirates and threatened all sorts
of punishment. Then, to make good
measure the Indians began to harass the
newcomers. For year the SITUATION was
desperate. Upon Boone the people or
Boonesborough had to depend mainly Tor
food, and he was kept busy with his gun.

Boone thereupon entered upon a work
of diplomacy and strategy that was re-
markable indeed. If the salt boilers were
attacked the people in the village would
be helpless, for there had been no warn

The Indians had great respect for Boone
as hunter and warrior, and when he
said he had suggestion to make they
