Famous Forts in
U. S. History
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
q. 1924. Western Newspaper Union.)
Boonesborough, Symbol of
Frontier America

Boonesborough is more than Ken
tucky's most famous fort. 1t is ma
tional landmark whose palisaded walls
symbolic the American frontier and
Its name stands as a monument to the
memory of Daniel Boone, the one
great American pioneer. Brief as was
Its existence, there are few forts in
America which have a more romantic
history.
In 1775 Col. Richard Henderson, a
North Carolina land Spectator, sent
Daniel Boone TO survey a road into
Kentucky, the Ozark and Bloody
Ground" and to build a fort there.
Boone set out with 20 men and, after
several Skirmishes with hostile In
dams, he reached his goal April 1, and
on April 20 began building fort.
Since Boonesborough was typical of
all frontier forts, it is worthy of de-
scription. At each Of the four corners
was two-story blockhouse. A series
or little cabins placed close together,
with their roofs sloping inward was
Quilt along the sides, and the space in
between these cabins was filled up with
palisades. There were heavy gates in
front and back and the whole fort in
closed space 260 feet long and $50
feet wide. The walls, which were
about twelve feet high, were loopholed
Tor rifle fire, as were the cabins, and
there was hardly nail or piece of
iron used in the whole fort.
From the date of its establishment
there was always something thrilling
taking place. In July, 1776, occurred
girls and their romantic rescue soon
afterwards The next year the Indians
attacked Boonesborough and Simon
henton made his famous rescue of
Daniel Boone. In September of that
year the British and Indians again be-
sieged the fort after they had called
out the frontiersmen for a council, and
their treacherous attack under the
white flag had failed. During this
siege the Indians tried to get into the
fort by digging under it. "What are
you red rascals doing there?" one old
frontiersman yelled to the savages in
their own tongue. Digging" was the
return yell. BLOW you all to the devil
soon; what you do?" "Oh," was the
cheerful reply, we're digging to meet
you and intend to bury 500 OF you"
Such were the incidents which make
up the history of Boonesborough.
After the Indian wars were over this
pioneer station lost its Importance and
never became the metropolis of the
state of Kentucky, as it once promised
to. do. Today Boonesborough is noted
as a pleasure resort where hundreds
go every year to playa strange con-
trast to the grim scenes of savage ha-
tired and bloOdshed it witnessed in the
days of Daniel Boone.

Proflted by the War.

Egypt, more than any other land
then under British protection, waxed
fat off the World war. It is said that
England paid out over billion dollars
In Egypt for foodstuffs, camels, mules,
and supplies for the use of her armies
in the Middle East.
With this access of wealth and the
breakup of the Moslem East that fol-
lowed the war, Egypt gained enormous
ly in political and religious Importance.
Gone forever is the "changeless,
dreamy East" of a decade ago! Growl-
Ing motor trucks have crowded crawl
Ing camels from historic caravan
trails; desert Arabs who used to read
the future in the stars now read it in
the passing planes of bold airmen
blazing a sky trail from Rome to
Tokyo, or London to Sydney.
A through train, "the Milk and
Honey Express" has been running
from Cairo to Jerusalem, save for
break at the Suez canal, where the
passengers walk across a floating
bridge at Kantara.
Geographically, Egypt comprises all
the land between the Red sea and the
Sahara, and runs from the Mediter
ranean south to the Nubian border, in
Guiding the Sinai peninsula; in fact, it
is about as big as Arizona and Texas
combined. But, except for about 12,-
200 square miles along the Nile banks
and in the delta (or a region about
equal to Connecticut and Massachu-
sefts), Egypt is practically deserts
Its people, including fellaheen ina
tive peasants). Copts. Arabs, Greeks,
Syrians, Turks, Persians and Euro
peans number over twelve millions.
Quickly told, the story of modern
Egypt is that Napoleon invaded it in
1898; then the Albanian adventurer,
Mehemet Ali, and his successors held
mastery till 1t went bankrupt in 1879.
To protect creditors, France and
England interviewed, deposed Khedive

prepared by the National Geographic So
ciety, Washington, d. CO
The recent difficulties with Great
Britain which have brought Egypt
prominently into the news have accom-
plished little new in this. Ever since
the plauge of frogs, since Pharaohs
hosts were swallowed by the sea, since
Cleopatra drank dissolved pearls,
broke up Roman homes and got herself
bitten by snake, Egypt has. been in
the eyes of the world.
Nothing in this strange land is
commonplace" Lord Miner has told
us; and Napoleon, in his first talk with
the governor of st. Helena, declared
Egypt to be "the most important
country in the world" For sixty CEN
turtles she has been invaded and occu-
pied, ruled and misrued, and ruined
and rebuilt by assorted enemies of
alien race, religion and speech. Now,
under a brand-new king of her own,
she has begun a new era in her event
full, tumultuous history.
No land is older in sin and civiliza-
ton than is Egypt; few peoples are
more mixed in race and religion than
the modern jewellers along the Nile;
and no region anywhere offers more
puzzling problems or more curious con-
trasts in politics, economics and ma
tiOnal ambitions than does modern
Egypt.
She was civilized and knew the cul-
ture of fine arts and science when
hairy cavemen were yet clubbing their
prey and eating it raw on that island
where classic Oxford now stands; yet
today nine-tenths of her people are
illiterate; many are blind from dis
ease; and probably half Of the real
Egyptians are mere day laborers, for
the wealth of Egypt is mostly in alien
hands; half of the native farmers, or
million and a half families own no
land at all. Still, in this "Proverbial
Land of Paradox" the people along the
Nile, thanks to British aid, are bet
ter off than they have been in genera
tions.
The fact that the population doubled
in the AZ years of British rule is sig
nificant. A wonderfully developed ir-
rigation system and a vast network
of communications, both so necessary
to agriculture in a rainless land, are
hers.
In the last seven years land has
trebled in value; rich farmers have
grown richer; Nile traffic has increased
four-fold; into the dusty desert horizon
new tracks of steel have penetrated;
and away up on the Blue Nile another
great dam is being built to impound
water for irrigating a yet vaster cot
ton-growing area.
