War Erupts on the Kentucky Frontier

No sooner had Daniel Boone and his axemen completed the Wilderness Road and began erecting a fort at Boonesborough, than the Revolutionary War broke out. The British enticed the Native American tribes living in the Ohio County to fight for the King by offering them payment in the form of war materials and even offering to pay for scalps.
