SIMON KENTON, THE AMERI
CAN MAZEPPA

Second only to the name Of Daniel
Boone-whose lie he once saved-is
written In the annals Of Kentucky the
name Of Simoh Kenton. Kenton was
a Virginian who served as a scout in
Lord Dunmore's war shortly before
the outbreak Of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into
the Dark and Bloody Ground" Of Ken
tucky in search Of adventure. His ex.
ploits there soon won for him the un-
dying hatred Of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 1778 Kenton with two compan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
q 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-
pedition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft. and overlook the scouts
just before they crossed the Ohio
river.
One Of the Kentuckians was killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner.
"You steal InJun hoss1" they taunt-
ed him. "An right, we give you ride
on him"
So they tied the scout on q wild
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 gantlet. 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 was
saved by friend-Chief Logan, the
noted orator of the Cayugas. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
Indians held q council and once more
decreed the death penalty. Kenton
was tied to the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied. British Of
hcer appeared and demanded the sur
render Of their prisones to his COM
mander at Detroit.
Kenton was kept captlfs N Detroit
