The attack on the Kentucky settlement of Boonesborough was led by Chief Blackfish, a Shawnee leader allied to the British. Months before the battle, Blackfish had captured and adopted Daniel Boone, the founder of Boonesborough. Boone escaped the Shawnees in time to lead the defense of the settlement. Blackfish&#8217;s siege was unsuccessful and was lifted after ten days. Boone was then court-martialed by fellow officers who suspected him of having British sympathies. Boone was acquitted, but he soon moved away from Boonesborough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Fort Boonesborough<\/strong><br \/>\nRichard Henderson, founder of the Transylvania Company in 1775, chose Daniel Boone to head a party of 31 axe men to clear a path through the Cumberland Gap that would run from Long Island of the Holston River, Tennessee, to Otter Creek of the Kentucky River. Blazing the trail presented extraordinary difficulties \u2013 the route through the wilderness was a hunter\u2019s trace that was too narrow for a wagon. The task was to combine The task was to combine many trails into one continuous route by clearing underbrush and overhanging foliage. When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky?s second settlement\u2013the site still known as Fort Boonesborough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong> about 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment: Phone 859-527-3131 ext 216 or email Fort Manager bill.farmer@ky.gov<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong><br \/>\nFort Boonesborough State Park<br \/>\n4375 Boonesborough Rd.<br \/>\nRichmond, Ky. 40475<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar today so you don&#8217;t miss the next 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment at at Fort Boonesborough State Park in Richmond, Kentucky in September.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment, Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment, Fort Boonesborough 1778 Seige Reenactment, American Revolutionary War Reenactment<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/events\/category\/texas-revolution-events\/\">View Other Texas Revolution Events<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/events\/category\/living-history-events\/\">View other Living History Events<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5268,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[1423,1426,1425,1424],"tribe_events_cat":[106,239,274,109,103],"class_list":["post-5262","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-1778-siege-of-fort-boonesborough-reenactment","tag-american-revolutionary-war-reenactment","tag-fort-boonesborough-1778-seige-reenactment","tag-siege-of-fort-boonesborough-reenactment","tribe_events_cat-american-revolutionary-war-reenactment","tribe_events_cat-battle-reenactments-and-encampments","tribe_events_cat-historic-american-forts","tribe_events_cat-living-history-events","tribe_events_cat-us-historic-reenactor-events","cat_american-revolutionary-war-reenactment","cat_battle-reenactments-and-encampments","cat_historic-american-forts","cat_living-history-events","cat_us-historic-reenactor-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
