tie garrison held out until Daniel
Boone could come up with reinforce,
ments and drive Glrty away. Boone
followed the retreating savages. The
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 say.
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 a trading station. and
from which he and his followers crept
forth every now and then on cruel
marauding expeditions.
At Gen. Arthur st. Clair's defeat, in
1871, Girty played his usual murderous
role. In that battle Gen. William But
.ier was wounded. Girty saw the gem
eral lying helpless on the ground. Call
ing upon an Indian, he ordered him to
scalp and kill Butler.
When, in 1898. the United States
government appointed a commission to
arrange peace treaty with the In
dians, Simon Girty had himself made
Interpreter. So crafty did he mfsin-
interpret, and SO brutally did he insult
the commissioners. that the treaty fell
through.
Then came the war of 1872. Girty
once more rushed to the front as tho
friend of the British and the foe Of his
own country. Again he marshalled
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
treachery, his genius for evil doing
all combined to make him, perhaps,
the best lated man III 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 40 . human monster,
of hideous aspect This is not true.
He was merely q fat. swarthy. bull

inches tall.

was Simon Girty, son OF an emteraAt
who had turned Indian trader. The
lads father had been killed by .
drunken Indian. His friend. John
Turner, had slain the Indian and mar
ried Girty's widow. The Indians tribes
men in turn murdered Turner and
made young Simon prisoner.
For years the boy lived among the
savages, learning their language and
customs, until he became at heart
more an Indian than q white man. AS
he grew to early manhood he left the
tribe and sought living among the
settlers His knowledge of Indian
ways made him useful In many ways
to the British military commanders
along the frontier. He enlisted in
Lord Dunmore's forces as a soldier
and interpreter, and soon became
known as one Of the cleverest military
spies in the colonies.
Then the American Revolution be-
gan. Girty joined the patriot army
and rose to the rank Of lieutenant.
Then, in 1777, he suddenly played the
traitor, and went over to the British.
1t is not absolutely known whether he
did this because Of some quarrel with
the Revolutionists or because he
thought he could make more money
and fame in the enemy's camp. At any
rate. the British received him gladly.
When Col. William Crawford. at the
head of a little body Of patriots. march
ed against Sandusky, and was cap
tured by the Indians. he begged Girty
to save him. Girty. according to most
accounts, refused and laughed aloud
while Crawford was tortured to death.
Girty always denied this. and said he
had tried In vain to persuade his In
dian followers to spare Crawford. (He
did: succeed once In saving from tor
turp his old friend. Simon Kenton. the
Kentucky pioneer.)
In 1882 Girty invaded Kentucky at
