The Shawnee raided the settlements in Kentucky in 1776 and 1777; they even captured Daniel Boone’s daughter, Jemima, and two of her friends. After being captured by the Shawnee then being adopted by them, Daniel Boone escaped and traveled 160 miles in four days to warn Boonesborough of an impending attack. The Shawnee arrived at Boonesborough in September 1778, and conducted the longest siege of any fort on the Kentucky frontier, but they ultimately retreated.
