On the eve of Colonel s Boone s death bicentennial the new book, Finding Daniel Boone: His Last Days in Missouri the Strange Fate of His Remains, willbe released around September 26, 2020. Part biography, part historical travelogue, and eloquently narrated, Finding Daniel Boone is the first book to explore Boone s life in Missouri and offer closure to his greatest mystery: Where is he buried? After he and his wife were reinterred in Kentucky, rumors circulated an African-American slave had been buried in his place, a debate that rages 200 years after the hunter s death. A radical departure from the frontiersman s earlier bios, Finding Daniel Boone utilizes fresh sources, rare photos, never-before-seen forensic data, family records, and historic art to juxtapose Daniel s world alongside Belue s as he journeys from his Missouri grave to his Kentucky grave, unraveling the burial tale and meeting a host of colorful characters, while describing Boone s trails and exploits. Belue says This is more than just a search for a man s bones. As little has been written about Boone s Missouri endeavors, my intriguingly unfolding chronicle is as much about the legendary pathfinder s life as about his death. The Long Run Massacre Floyd s DefeatCancelled for 2020 The Long Run Massacre Floyd s Defeat has been canceled for Sept. 11, 12, 2020. This annual event is put on by the Painted Stone Settlers, Inc., a group of living history re-enactors, and includes a School Day program and public event the following day. This decision was made in light of safety and health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization does not want to put students, teachers or the general public at risk, and feel it is better for all concerned to cancel this year s event. Lynn Station and its founder Col. William Lynn among prominent founders of Louisville Stations sprang up fairly quickly along Beargrass Creek in Jefferson Co., KY in the late 18th century. It was a time when thousands of settlers began pouring into all areas of Kentucky quickly needing homes and defense from hostile Native American tribes. Probably one of the first settlements in the area was the one established by Col. William Lynn in 1779 on the headwaters of Beargrass Creek. He settled on a tract he may have selected as early as 1776 when he led an expedition down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. A large spring on the site flowed into nearby Beargrass Creek. Lynn Station became a very important well defended, populated and secure station.Read the entire article. Beargrass Creek, as it flows through the Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, KY. (Photo by H.E. McKinney) It s almost mid June, 2020,and all the living history events up til now have been canceled, and many through the end of July are tentative. Under normal circumstances, I would have already been to over half a dozen living history events including mountain man rendezvous, black powder shoots and any number of ceremonies conducted by the Sons of the American Revolution. But instead, for over three months, I ve been at home, practicing my traditional archery in my backyard and doing a few projects to add to my primitive camping gear. History repeating itself? Suits and dresses were the protesters dress code in the 1960s. So Living History is on hold. Or is it? Maybe, just maybe, this is a major turning point in our history.Maybe we are living history right now.Staying at home, wearing masks in public, or refusing to stay home and wear masks in public.Maybe history is happening right now. We seem to be at some sort of turning point or crux at this time.There is political unrest with the people of the United States sharply divided in their political views.There is racial unrest and articles I ve read reveal that even the National Guardsmen being sent to minimize violence during the protests are questioning which side of the fence they are personally leaning towards. With most things shut down for two months or so, the country s economy is faltering.And not just the American economy; they are now saying we are in a worldwide recession unlike anything since World War II.With the pandemic, millions of Americans have lost their jobs. On top of all that, most people are eager and ready for things to get back to normal. But will it ever be normal again?In the spring, the weather changes from the cold, snowy days of winter to the warm days of fresh growth, showers and flowers.But that change doesn t come smoothly.With it comes storms; some very violent, some causing tornadoes.It feels like that now.We are in the spring storm season, and when the storms settle down, we ll come out of out shelters to discover what is different outside. And what will be different is always a mystery.And it feels like that now.What will we find when we finally are able to get on with things?I suspect we are at the crux of some major changes.So maybe history isn t on hold.Maybe it s happening right now and we are living it.Maybe one or two hundred years from now, people will sew together denim jeans, and make tee shirts and baseball caps, and, of course, they will wear face masks.They ll get together in public areas, with signs similar with what we see today on the news. Maybe they will recreate the pandemic of 2020, and re-enact it for visitors to come and witness that time that history changed.They will be the living history of the future, as we live that history today. Melvin Rowe is a re-enactor and potter and owner ofhttp://www.potteryrowe.com/ Fort Boonesborough opened to visitors on June 10 with social distancing and face masks in place. And families eager to get out were in attendance. Interpreters used a variety of ways to deliver the message of Fort Boonesborough. Some interpreters had the chains across their doorways where folks could look in. That guaranteed them a distance from visitors but still plenty of room to be seen and heard. Working outside (with masks) was another option. And new banners provided by the Fort Boonesborough Foundation give a description of the cabins interpretations when a live interpreter was not present. Decisions have still not been made on coming events - but at least visitors could walk the fort and learn of life in the 18th century. The ping, ping from the Forge brought afamiliar sound of activity in the fort. While a new employee was in the candle shop. Long time employee and living historian Bobby Caudill was anxious to get back to what he loves, while Teresa Beck was in the soap cabin. Ten new interpretive banners hang around the fort to help visitors visualize life during the heyday of the fort. Friendship with Nathan Booneand Ties to the Nine Young Men From Kentucky By Helen E. McKinney Richard Phelps portrays 18th Century Pioneer Daniel Trabue at Fort Boonesborough s Fireside Chat Daniel Trabue was remarkable on the Kentucky frontier because he could read and write. Trabue kept a journal of his life and times, and gives us one of the most accurate looks at late 18th century life. In addition to his time in Kentucky Trabue returned to Virginia and was a regular soldier in the Revolutionary War before returning and spending the remainder of his life inThe Commonwealth. Russell Morris, Shawnee Storyteller Headlinesat Fort Boonesborough s 2nd February Fireside Chat Jonathan Hagee, Colonial Balladeer, performed music from the 18th Century as guests made their way into the auditorium. The remaining two chats Daniel Trabue and Maggie Delaney are already sold out.
