ture HIS old friend. Simon Kenton. the
Kentucky pioneer.)
In 1852 Girty invaded Kentucky at
the head Of 800 Indiana. and attacked
a fort near Lexington. The plucky lit
tie garrison held out until Daniel
Boone could come up with reinforce
ments and drive Girty away. Boone
followed the retreating saVages. Ths
two forces met at Blue Licks, There
a fierce battle, disastrous to the
Americans, was fought (the last OF
many great Indian battles in Ken
tucky).
Girty, not content with leading saw
ages against men Of his own race, next
proceeded to drive the gentle Mo
ravian missionaries out OF the Indian
tribes. He made his headquarters on
Sandusky River farm, which he
changed into trading station. and
from which he and his followers crept
forth every now and then on cruel
marauding expeditions. By trade, and
by service to the British, the renegade
was smassing very tidy fortune.
At Gen. Arthur st. CIair's defeat, in
1871, Girty played his usual murderous
role. In that battle Gen. William But
Ter was wounded Girty saw the gen.
eral lying helpless on the ground. Call
ing upon an Indian, be ordered him TO
scalp and kill Butler.
When. in 1893. the United States
government appointed q commission to
arrange a peace treaty with the In
dams, Simon Girty had himself made
interpreter. So crafty did be uisin-
interpret, and 80 brutally did he insult
the commissioners, that the treaty fell
through.
Then came the war OF 1912. Girty
once more rushed TO the front as the
friend OF the British and the foe Of his
own country. Again he marshaIled
his Indians to the fray, and again the
torch. tomahawk and scalping knife
wrought havoc along the frontier.
Girty's name was cursed by settlers
and soldiers alike. His cruelty, his
trsachery, his genius for evil doing
all combined TO make him, perhaps,
the best hated man in the west
Many tales OF his atrocities-some
true. some exaggerated-are still hand
ed down from generation to generation
in the districts he ravaged. He has
been described as human monster,
OF hideous aspect This Is not true.
He was merely fat, swarthy. bull
necked man, about FIVE feet nine
inches tail, and as quick In his move
ments as cat.
Some historians say Girty was kill
ed at the Battle of the Thames in
1873 (where Gen. Harrison crushed the
Indians, and where their leader, To-
| cumseh, felD; others that be survived
the war and died Q natural death two
years later.
