Even to mention all of Boone’s advent- | ures and hairbreadth escapes in an article of this kind is impossible. He was pres ent at the famous battle of the Blue Licks, the most woeful defeat ever suf- | fered by the Western woodsmen. This | occurred in I ar the end of the revo- | lutionary war. The Indians and a party | of British rangers from Detroit had at- tacked a settlement known as Bryan's Station, but after a serious conflict had | were pursued by a much smaller band of pioneers. Contrary to the advice of Boone and the cooler uea_s in the company, the little band of whites, urged on by the reckless bravado of some of their num- ber, crossed the Blue Licks and attacked the savages on the farther side. Boone commanded the left wing and did valiant | service; but the frontlersmen were soon repulsed and driven back through the stream. Seventy of them were killed and others taken prisoners. Boone escaped ¥ dint of his customary agility and skill, | dashing through the savages, swimming | the river and making his way back witn unerring accuracy to tue settlement. Boone lived to pe % years of age, dying | n in 1820. He nved to see tne great West forests wiuch he haa traversed disappea before the advancing tnrongs of settie he saw Kentucky, 7 ennessee, Missi Alabama, Ohio, Indiana, Tlinois ai Louisiana enter the Union; he who was | almost the first white man from the East- ern colonies to penetrate the remote sol tude of the interior lived to see that region dotted with thriving cities and vii- lages and peopled by over a million .nhab- itants, with such marveious rapidity did | | the American people extend tnemselves |of the Pa over the Mis: basin_and turn the 4. lne diterence ization on the one sh and American coloniz other is brought.out by this > plow between French coic hand and Eng: tion on the | fact: F who had expiored the | Mississippi Vailey in the nteenth cen- haa in the middie of the eigiteenth a few thousand men west of the mountains; ‘ennessee and Kentucky, | which were first settied by the Enghsh | just before tne beginming of the revol tion, were admitted nto tne Union as es before the end the century.

He is justly described by one writer as a supp id robusi man | blue eyes and the alert habit of a hunter and who: mand attracted notice wherever he went, | and perhaps the weightiest man of ali It was under his leadership that the new com- | munity was organized, with written arti- | cles of agreement known as tne Articles | of the Watauga Association.

It is this ca- pacity for organization, this political in- stinct, which secured the American conti- nent for the Anglo-Saxon race. Among these mer. ncne were learned and some had almost no schooling. Robertson him- self having had even fewer cpportunities than the majority, had just been ‘“learn- ing his letters and to spell” under the tutelage of his educated wife. But they nse ond judgment, and they knew how to make a stable government without reference to theories or philo- sophic doetrin cbertson’s services as a leader of west- ern settlement can hardly be overestimat- ed. A story of his career is a history of the early life of eastern Tennessee. One of his first_exploits was to go alone on a leng expedition to the Cherokee country to persuade the Indians not to begin hos- tilities against the settlers. This deed re- cts in American history more f areful attention than the quired great courage, but the masterful | pirit of the man, his utter freedom from | fear and a certain commanding presence | had their influence. He accomplished his purpose and returned in safety. A few | yvears later he was present at the battle | of the Great Kanawha, where an army of backwoodsmen overwhelmed the Indians under the great Shawnee chieftain. Corn- stalk. This was one of the flercest and most bloody battles ever fought in the West. He commanded the Watauga fort in 1776, when it was attacked by the Chero- kees, The Indians in the attacking party numbered over 3. Not more than forty whites were fit for active service.

Only | threc vears after this Robertson and a few companions moved farther westward | | into the wilderness, founding, near what | was then known as French Lake on the | Cumberland. a little _settlement which | ashville. 1 interesting and | fascinating ficure in Southwestern history | grew into the citv of ) Tn some ways the m is John Sevier. A man of education and th a certain native refinement. courte- ous. handsome, strong. of charming mien, bold to the point of absolute recklessness, loving danger for denger’'s sake, or seem- ingly courting it with a light-hearted en- | thusiasm for excitement. he was the most famous Indian fighter in a region where every man was perforce a woodsman. He was more brilliant and dashing than Rob- ertson, but had something of the same skill in commanding men and curbing the rougher spirits of the frontier. He was one of the early settlers at the Watauga and a member of the first committee of thirteen in that assoclation. He was sec- ond in commard when the Cherokees a tacked the séttlement and vallantly alded Robertson in the defense of the fort. He was ore of the leaders at the battle of Kings Mountain, where the hardy fron- tlersmen, armed’ with their clumsy flint- locks, mowed down the British and Tory troops and showed what a terrible weapon the long rifie could become in the hands of unerring marksmen. Returning from this great victory. Sevier led a band of riflemen against the Cherokees and de- | masterful man. He was perhaps the most successful Indian fighter on the border, because his followers belleved in him and obeyed him as much as the restless woods- men could obey any one, because with marvelous adroitness he adopted the tac- tics of the red men and with superfor in- telligence beat them by their own meth- and because he gathered about him the best and truest men of the frontier. Sevies career is connected with the foun n_of the wouid-be independent Stat Franklin, which was formed by the frontiersmen in Tennessee, a territory then legally a part of North Carolina. The story of the little commonwealth and its final downfall cannot be told here. Sevier was for a time Governer of the self-con- stituted State. V Tennessee was ad- mitted into the Union Sevier was its first Governor. He was beyond question a fron- tler statesman as we an Indlan fight- er of men ed of capacity or dreamy idealist coul forceful wotk of the border.
