SIMON KENYON, THE AMERI-
CAN MAZEPPA

Second only to the name of Daniel
Boone-whose life he once saved-is
written in the annals of Kentucky the
name of Simon Kenton. Kenton vas
a Virginian who served as a scout in
Lord Dunmore's wal shortly before
the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into
the Ozark and Bloody Ground" of Ken
lucky in search of adventure. His eX-
PLOTS there soon won for him the I'M
dying hatred of the Indians and 40
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 1878 Kenton with two compan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon a herd of
Indian horses. The Kentuckians re-
solved to take some of the animals
along as trophies of the successful eX-
petition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft and overlook the scouts
Just before they crossed the Ohio
river. ,
One of the Ke%ntuckians vas killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner.
"You steal Injun hoss?' they taunt-
ed him. "All right, we give you ride
on him.
young horse and set it free in the for
est. He finally was taken from the
horses back more dead than alive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run the g%antlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors, armed with clubs and
hatchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zanesfield preparations were
made to burn him at the stake, but the
arrival of Simon Girty, the white
renegade who recognized Kenton as
an old friend, saved him.
His freedom was short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he vas
saved by a friend-Chief Logan, the
noted orator of the Cayugas. When
iHt puluShS toNhS Ntit iNu'lcu, thc
Indians held a council and once more
decreed the death penalty. kenton
was tied to the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied, a British Of
ficcp appeared and demanded the III
render of their pri soner to his COM
mander at Detroit.
Kenton was kept captive in Detroit
