00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:13.039
One other note on Daniel Boone that he actually served, maybe not like directly beside, but alongside Washington under General Braddock in the French and Indian War when uh they had the the battle near Pittsburgh.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:13.439
Yeah.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.399
So I mean he's tied in there multiple times.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:18.079
I wonder if he said yinz.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:19.839
Yinzer.
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.960
I can see him in Washington having a hey, what is on internet?
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:46.640
So why would two guys make comfortable jobs move across the country and start a business in an industry they don't know, a place they don't know, but it'd be successful?
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.479

Welcome to the Impact Without Limits Podcast.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.959
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Impact Without Limits podcast.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.239
I am Dale.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.760
The sun is shining brightly.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.040
Carmi sitting here with Stevie Wonder over there.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:12.799
Give me a little head nod.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.400
Yeah.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.760
Alright.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:23.040
So for you in Audio Land, I am wearing my shades, my uh Star-spangled banner shades.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.480
I'm gonna take them off right now because it's a little hard to see indoor.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.519
Not that I need to see.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:28.640
They match your shirt.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.400
Yeah, the shirt and the hat.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:31.439
Oh yeah.
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.799
Now it is a Forevermond hat, but I do have, if I get the camera back, flag on the side, so it is America.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.879
But um, welcome back.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.640
I'm a little more subtly American.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.200
I do have the 1776 hat on, and then I got the American polo going.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.159
I don't have a camera on me, but oh well.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.040
There it is.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.560
There's just a little just got the American flag rolling today.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.040
Oh don't forget about these.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:57.920
Oh my goodness.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.920
So this is a funny story, guys.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:12.960
I um I I I had these boots, I don't know, I've had these boots for like uh I don't know, two years, and like three or four months ago, they came up missing.
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:22.319
And I didn't, you don't really you know how when you lose something, you don't know you actually lost it, and then at some point you're it's like, I think I'm missing a pair of boots.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.199
And Lori's like, what do you mean?
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.120
I said, because I've got I don't know, I've got maybe five or six different pairs of boots.
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.800
I said, Didn't I have like these Americana boots?
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.360
And and I I don't know, it's like people are looking at me like I was a little bit crazy.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:44.639
I'm like, I know I had a pair of American boots, and then Colton had a pair of boots that had an American flag on it, but it was red, white, and blue.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.280
And it's like I asked Colton, I goes, are those my boots or those yours?
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.879
He says, No, those are mine.
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.560
So then I'm starting to question, did I really have boots?
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.400
It's like in my mind I had these American themed boots, but I knew it wasn't red, white, and blue.
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.400
I thought it was this little more subtle, and but I couldn't find them like, how do you lose a pair of boots?
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:15.120
So finally, last week, well, as podcast world goes, probably you know, four weeks ago, it was the middle of June.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.800
I'm just sitting there and I'm like, I know I had boots.
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.840
And as I'm saying this or thinking this, I get this email from Boot Barn.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.280
I love Boot Barn.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.879
A little advertisement here, maybe they'd pay us some money, Bethany.
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.000
You can go out and see.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.319
I just love shopping at Boot Barn.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.960
I got boots and jeans and shirts and all this cool stuff.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.680
I get this email from them, and it said patriotic boots.
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.879
And I clicked on the link, and there was my boots.
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.759
And it as soon as I saw them, it's like, those are the boots because I couldn't remember what they looked like.
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.120
It's a that's my boots.
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.400
So I take a picture of the screen, I send a note out to my family.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.199
Like family, if you remember, I lost my boots like four months ago.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.240
Does anybody happen to see them or whatever?
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:09.680
And like 10 minutes later, I get a picture of Lori of my boots, and they're in the basket under my locker in my house, probably right where they should have been.
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.599
I swear I looked there.
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.639
I love it.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:21.120
So they're back, they're on just in time for the semi-quincentennial, and uh just a funny little story.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.079
So we're gonna follow up that story of the question.
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:25.040
Yes, right?
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.240
We like asking the audience.
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:26.879
Audience.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.600
Yes, my Ed McMahon Johnny.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.720
Um this is gonna be this is gonna be a multiple choice.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.720
Or or a pick, you know, who doesn't belong.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.279
So I'm gonna list four names.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.319
One of them was a revolutionary character.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.439
Um three of them are not.
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.639
So I want you to tell me who is the revolutionary character.
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.560
So we're gonna start.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:12.319
Nathaniel Brown, Davy Crockett, Adam Samuels.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:14.319
Not Adam Sandler.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.480
No, Adam Samuels, Daniel Boone.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.600
So out of those four names, one of them would be considered uh part of the Revolutionary War.
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.759
I don't know if I'd say founding father, but part of that.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:32.879
Who is it?
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.480
A, B, C, or D.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.600
What was my order?
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:36.720
Nathaniel Brown.
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:42.079
Nathaniel Brown, Davy Crockett, Adam Samuels, Adam Samuels, Daniel Boone.
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.319
And I don't think I would have gotten this three months ago.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.079
Maybe I would have.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.079
But the answer is Daniel Boone.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.199
Daniel Boone.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.360
Can't put that in the title.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:58.399
Who did you get?
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.759
I don't know, but I would have thought that Daniel Brown was a foundation.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:04.800
What about Adam Samuels?
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.560
Adam Samuels is, if you didn't catch it, Samuel Adams.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.000
Oh, that is tricky.
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.160
Cam Adams was a founding father, but Adam Samuels wasn't.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.680
I just switched the name there.
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.199
Daniel Green became Nathaniel Brown.
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.759
Nathaniel Brown was not.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.439
And Davy Crockett is an American hero, but not from the Revolutionary War era.
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:27.759
Right.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:28.879
But Daniel Boone was.
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.439
Davy Crockett fought at the Alamo.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.319
He was also a representative of Tennessee.
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.759
Yep, served in Congress.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.839
And he was a frontiersman too, similar to Daniel Boone, but Daniel Boone.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.199
Here's a question Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett?
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.240
Who wins?
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.439
Listen.
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:48.959
I'm going with Boone.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.040
I'm not getting in that one.
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.120
That's that's an MMA fight that I don't know.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.240
That would be epic.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:57.120
My goodness.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.839
Yeah, the answer is they wouldn't fight each other.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.240
They'd join forces and beat everybody else.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.040
Yeah.
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.240
So two of them could take on a herd of bear.
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.439
So do bears travel in herds.
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.879
They do when they're running from Daniel Boone.
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.399
So we're going to talk about Daniel Boone.
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.240
And um again, there's history here.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.600
There's a lot of information.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.879
We're not experts.
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.879
A lot of what we're going to talk about was pulled from a show.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.439
Yeah, I would encourage everyone to watch this.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.639
So there's The Men Who Built America, which is a great series.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:33.360
It's a lot of fun.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.920
But specifically, they've got The Frontiersman.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:36.399
Yep.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.720
And the episode on Daniel Boone.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.879
Oh, it's the first episode of that.
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:41.759
Yeah.
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:43.199
So so good.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:44.240
Just awesome.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:55.040
So to set the stage, we've talked about this in previous episodes, but 1763, King George sets a proclamation that there can be no settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.600
Yeah.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:56.160
Right.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:04.879
And so the American colonists are like, I think it was to appease the Indians, Native Americans, whatever.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.879
Um, but also because he liked to just be in control.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.399
He wanted something.
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.360
And he likes to have his thumb right on top of the colonists.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.399
And so the colonists are like, no, that's not happening.
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.120
And so there's this uh push, and they were allowed to go hunt and trap and trade.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:23.920
They couldn't settle.
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.800
They couldn't settle.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.160
And so Boone was part of those guys who would go hunt and trap and trade and explore.
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:40.480
But as the story goes, he gets into a little bit of debt, and there's a judge in Virginia, yep, who says who buys a portion of land there.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:41.759
Judge Richard Henderson.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.799
Henderson, yep.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.399
When you say a portion of land, it's like the size of Kentucky.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.639
20 million acres.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.919
Can you imagine buying 20 million acres?
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.320
How do you do that?
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.720
But and he bought it from an Indian tribe.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.360
It was a legitimate purchase.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:08.399
But the problem was there were other Indian tribes that didn't think the one Indian tribe had the right to sell it.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.600
Yeah.
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.559
So it was somewhat of a contested.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.240
It was it was contested.
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.159
But he's looking for somebody to go settle it.
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:31.919
So in exchange for, you know, uh covering some of Dan Ubin's debts or getting him out of debt, he allows him to go be the face of setting up this settlement on this new land in what is present-day Kentucky.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.320
Yep.
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.919
So Daniel Boone goes out and settles this.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:42.080
First of all, and and I didn't research to know how exactly true that is.
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:52.320
But again, when you talk about thin threads, like Daniel Boone is in a courtroom because of debt that he has and can't pay.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.440
There's a possibility of going to debtor's prison.
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.360
And he's explaining why.
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.480
And he talks about exploring this frontier and hunting.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:14.159
And this judge, who just happened to have bought 20 million acres, is trying to figure out how to settle it, makes this deal and says, Look, I'll help you clear up your debt if you go settle this land for me.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.720
Yeah.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:29.919
So one other note on Daniel Boone that he actually served, maybe not like directly beside, but alongside Washington, um, under General Braddock in the French and Indian War.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:30.639
Interesting.
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.759
When uh they had the the battle near Pittsburgh.
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.240
Yeah.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.200
So I mean he's tied in there multiple times.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.799
I wonder if he said yin's yinzer.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.559
I could see him in Washington having a yins are doing.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.960
All right, so Boone goes out and settles this town called Boonesboro.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.799
And it's it's a a town, is it's almost like a giant fort.
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.000
Here again.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.799
Let's dive into it a little bit.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.080
Settle a town.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.480
He's in the middle of the wilderness.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.759
And what do you take?
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.279
I think he had 60 people with him.
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.080
Yep.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.279
And they build this fort, right?
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.960
Cutting down trees.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:11.519
Yeah.
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:20.960
They're in the middle of a wilderness, you know, days and days away from you know, I don't know how many days travel away from population.
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.200
They have to cut down the trees, they have to take the wood, right?
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:33.039
Create create the wood that they're going to use to make this fort, erect the fort, support it, go inside, dig the well.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.480
They have to do all of this.
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.960
And so Boonesboro is the settlement like really inside the fort.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.759
And why?
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.240
Because what's on out, what's outside the fort?
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:47.200
The Shawnee.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.720
The Shawnee Indians.
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:59.600
So they they they they said they couldn't even really like do a lot to create produce to have gardens and things.
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.000
Right.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:07.919
Because that the land, I mean, they they had area inside the fort, I'm sure they were in some, but the majority of the land is outside the walls of the fort.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.960
You go out there, you get hawked by the Indians.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.480
Which his daughter goes outside the walls.
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.519
She gets captured.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.799
And she gets captured.
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.480
And so what does Daniel Boone do?
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:18.879
How old?
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.519
14 years old.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.399
14 years old.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.360
Jemima.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:29.120
Which, by the way, Aunt Jemima pancakes they took away, because that was apparently racist to say Aunt Jemima.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.159
Jemima tell Daniel Boone that named his daughter that.
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.879
And she was white.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.000
Jemima didn't name his daughter that Boone named his daughter that.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:38.159
Whatever.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.919
But she's a 14-year-old.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:42.799
We don't have to go.
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.080
14-year-old named Jemima gets kidnapped by the Shawnee.
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.679
What do you do?
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:48.799
Daniel Boone?
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:49.679
You hunt him down.
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:52.320
Chases them down.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.960
Tracks them down.
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:02.320
So as the story goes, his daughter, because uh I don't know if as a parent, I say this and I mean it.
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.600
I don't have a favorite child.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.960
I don't either.
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.080
Um the reference we heard said Jama was his favorite son, his favorite son.
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:10.960
His favorite daughter.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.799
Which I do think she like would hunt and trap and things alongside.
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:21.440
So he had and maybe not favorite, but she was the one that was by his side and he taught her all this outdoor stuff.
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:45.679
So she gets captured by these Indians as taken hostage, being dragged back to their camp, and she has a wherewithal to do things like tear off little pieces of her dress and leave it, break little branches and twigs, leave a signal or a sign that says this is this is the way to find me because she knew her dad would come looking for her.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:47.600
I you know, I'm not a hunter.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:53.200
I don't know how you track things, but could you imagine trying to track in the middle of the forest?
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.159
It's crazy.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.360
But he does.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.519
And he does goes into their camp with just a few men.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.080
Yeah, what'd he take?
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:03.039
Three or four men with him.
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.480
Saves his daughter and gets back without losing anything.
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.519
His daughter and the right, and the uh there were either two or two other girls.
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.240
Yeah.
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.600
They capture him back from the Indians and return to the fort.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.639
I mean, you talk about legendary, you talk about epic, heroic.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.559
Oh my goodness.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.600
So his legend starts to grow.
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.320
Yeah, right.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.240
I mean, how couldn't it?
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:34.799
And he leads this group of people through the wilderness, they develop, they build this fort, his daughter gets captured, and he he goes.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.360
That's like it's walking.
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.720
You're talking about a bear earlier.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:43.679
That's like the bear is in the cave, and you go into the bear cave and you take the food off the bear.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.679
The honey insane.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.159
The honey is because you know the bear's in there like poo.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.159
He's eating the poney, eating the poney.
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.279
You just take it.
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.080
So uh just crazy.
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.080
Yeah, but it it grows from there.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:05.519
Yeah, so then you talked about being in this walled fort, wood-walled fort, and they have to preserve their food with salt.
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.799
This is crazy to me.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:18.720
I learned that a salt lick is a mineral stream that they would then like it's a water source that has a bunch of minerals in it, that they would create salt from, they'd boil it down, right?
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:23.600
Yeah, and they said it would take 500 gallons of water to boil down and get 50 pounds of salt.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.480
Yeah.
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.279
Right?
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.360
And so they get this this That's insane.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.159
They're going out to make salt and they need like 1,500 pounds of salt.
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.120
Yes.
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.840
Yeah, it was 15, they needed 15,000 to get through the winter.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.399
And they could do 500 pounds a day if they boiled all that water.
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.480
So it was gonna take them 30 days.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:54.240
So this group of men out for 30 days just boiling water, getting it down to salt, bagging it.
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.919
Can you imagine carrying 15,000 pounds of salt back?
00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:58.799
No.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.600
I mean, obviously they they must have built wagons, and maybe they had horses were gonna pull the wagons or whatever.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.879
So they're out in the wilderness for 30 days.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.200
And what happens?
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.399
They get kidnapped.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.440
The Shawnee coming.
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.639
Who was the leader of the Shawnee?
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.200
Do you remember?
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.080
Blackfish.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.960
Blackfish.
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.000
That sounds like trouble.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.120
Blackfish.
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.559
Chief Blackfish captures them, takes them prisoner.
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:29.519
And so they had this thing where the the British had put a bounty on any settlers that the Indians would turn over, they'd pay them for it.
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.879
100 bucks a person, which is a lot of money back then.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.840
And and so so let's let's dive into this.
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.000
What why why are the Brits doing that?
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.360
Because this the time frame this is happening, we didn't set that.
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:43.840
No, we didn't.
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.399
This is like 1775.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.320
Yeah, that I think when he gets captured, we might be in December.
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.519
It might have been 77.
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.000
Yeah.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.960
Yeah, it was 77.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.320
But when when he first ventured out, I think it was 75.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:03.200
Yep, I and as they're building the fort, the declaration gets signed, they get news, the declaration is signed.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.519
Um, he gets captured, so now it's 76 or 77.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:24.000
But the British were using the Indians to like attack the Western Front, which was Kentucky, the Ohio Valley, all of that, to unsettle the the colonists.
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:35.440
Like, you're up here battling in Boston and Philadelphia and the the Northeast, and all of a sudden you've got people getting captured and taken down on the Western Front.
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.920
So actually, really smart to the British.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.920
That kind of makes me mad.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.440
Well, a lot of things the British did make me mad.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.440
So after Blackfish and the Shawnee capture them, they have them run the gauntlet.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:49.680
Yeah.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.039
Which I remember in football practice we used to run the gauntlet.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.640
We did, it all makes sense.
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:55.920
Yeah, and it does, right?
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.839
The the Indians lined up on either side and you had to run through them, and they're like hitting you, punching you.
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:09.680
Club clubs and hatchets, and they said a lot of people running the hatchet, or running the gauntlet didn't make it, didn't make it.
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.799
Not didn't make it through the gauntlet, they did it, didn't live.
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:21.599
And Daniel Boone makes it through and kind of like gains the respect of black fish, and they actually kind of become friends.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.000
Yeah.
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.000
And we left something out earlier.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.559
Okay.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:31.359
When Daniel Boone first goes to the wilderness, his son is captured and tortured and killed by Indians.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:40.799
Before Jemima got abducted, he had a son that was killed by the Indians.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:48.240
So now he you know, you would think he could have just this terrible animosity and hatred towards him.
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.720
He killed a son, kidnap the daughter, capture him.
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.920
But he actually develops a little bit of a relationship with Blackfish.
00:18:54.160 --> 00:19:01.920
Yeah, I read one article that said Blackfish adopted him almost as a son, named him the Big Turtle, which I think is humorous.
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:09.119
I don't know why, but names him the Big Turtle, and and he spends months living with these Indians, right?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:16.000
And yeah, I because I think they said it was three, maybe three months, four months.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:26.240
He was with the Indians before they transported him to Fort Detroit up in Michigan, which was a major um English fort or base.
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:26.559
Yep.
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:34.000
And that's where the Indians get the bounty for the uh the Americans because they had they had a group of them.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.599
I don't know how many were there.
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.039
But the British say, hey, we don't just want the men.
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:44.480
What we want you to do is take these men and go back and take that Boonsboro.
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.599
We want Boonsboro.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:20:05.279
So now you've got the guy who knows the details, use him as information to go and so they're and and like they wanted him to they wanted Daniel Boone under the captivity of the Indians and the English to negotiate the surrender of the turnover of Boonesboro.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:05.839
Right.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:15.680
So they start heading back from Detroit back to Kentucky, which is I don't know, 300 miles, yeah, something like that.
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:22.400
And along the way, Daniel Boone, he's he hurt, I mean, he knows what's going on.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.960
He's like, Yeah, we're not gonna do this.
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.559
He escapes.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:56.480
He escapes from this group of Indians traveling down to uh to take over Boonesboro, and he ends up traveling 150 miles on foot, outrunning the Indians and trying to hide his trail so he's being careful, he's walking in circles doing all this stuff, and while he's evading them and hiding his trail, he still travels 150 miles.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.720
I think they said in four days.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.240
It's crazy.
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:09.039
I mean, absolutely astounding what this man did, and gets back to the fort before the Indians to warn them that he's this is coming.
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.279
He's been gone four months at this time.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:16.000
His wife and kids actually went back to Virginia thinking he was dead.
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:23.839
But his daughter, Jemima, probably 16 at the time, stayed there waiting for him because she was convinced her dad would come back.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.160
Hey, he didn't give up on her, she didn't give up on her.
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.200
Oh my goodness.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:29.920
And then he tells the people, hey, get ready.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.279
We gotta make gunpowder.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.920
By the way, did you see how they made gunpowder?
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:39.839
They take sulfur, something else, and bat dung, and they mix it together and they went.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.160
I had I had no idea how you made gunpowder.
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:43.039
Apparently, bat dung.
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.920
There you go.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:45.039
Hey, later today.
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.960
I learned about assault lick and bat dung gunpowder, all in the same.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.480
So much to learn.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.119
But anyway, so they they get all these things.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.440
They're they're making uh uh shot for their their guns, ammunition, melting down leads.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.960
And things.
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:06.000
And they they just there's 60 of them, or they might be down to 40 at this point.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.319
And they say, hey, we're gonna hold up against the Indians.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.680
And Chief Blackfish and the Shawnee come.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.440
And at first, Boone goes out and they try and negotiate.
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:24.240
And I saw some things that Boone was probably stalling, trying to drag this out as much as he could, because they had sent for Virginia militia.
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.519
Yes, they had requested Virginia.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.920
And they were waiting for the militia to come back.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.960
But at some point the fighting breaks out.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:35.920
And so you've got these settlers set up inside this fort.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.799
He must have built a pretty good fort.
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:39.920
Oh my goodness.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.039
Think about that.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.920
It's crazy.
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.400
So yes.
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.799
Didn't they say it was 450?
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.759
450.
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.359
Seven to one or something.
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.640
Yeah, it must have been 60 people there.
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:56.000
It was like seven to one war Indian warriors versus men, women, and probably a few teenagers.
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.599
Certainly Jemima was there.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.279
I don't know if there were others.
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.680
And this they they they attacked, right?
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:10.160
The siege comes and and uh and they repel them day one.
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:17.039
And then and a lot of Indians died, and then day two they come again and they get repelled again.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.680
And then the Indians start saying, We gotta try a different approach.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.440
And they would like they tried tunneling at one point.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.160
Yeah, they would just try surprise attacks.
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.200
Right?
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:36.400
And and try and get up and and ram the wall or knock down the wall, but they would they they it was like hit and run tactics.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:43.440
They they would fake this way and come from that way and just just try and find some way to get into the fort.
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.240
And they continued to turn them away for ten days.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.039
And they're stuck inside the fort, right?
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.160
Yeah.
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:59.920
So they look you gotta go to the bathroom in ten days.
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.759
Somebody probably had to go to the bathroom.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:02.720
Right?
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.839
It's all inside there the waste of the food, of everything, right?
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.599
They couldn't get more new food.
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:19.680
They're running low on ammo, they're running low on supplies, it's looking grim, but but they're still hanging on in hopes that the militia comes.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.559
Yep.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.839
And as it was depicted in the show, and I did, I was looking to read it.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.200
I think this is accurate.
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.079
Is it accurate?
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.559
Yeah.
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.799
So day 10, the Indians are like, all right, we're gonna take a different approach.
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:41.039
And they they start using fiery arrows, and they light the arrows and they shoot them into the fort, and they catch the fort on fire.
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:48.720
They're trying to burn it down, either force them out, or the fort catches fire, the walls burn, and they can go in.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.920
Providentially, what happens?
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.200
It rains.
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.839
And at this point, Chief Blackfish is just like, I give up.
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.640
Like, there is something different going on here.
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:12.400
And they they had a they had a scout report that the militia was on the way, yep, and their fire attack was thwarted, and that's like we can't do this.
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.599
So, yeah, the Shawnee and Blackfish turn and go back, and Daniel Boone is just.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:24.559
I mean, that's a major battle on the Western front of the Revolutionary War.
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.839
It's crazy.
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:40.319
And the the the psychological impact, if you lose that, if you lose that town, and the fear that begins to creep in from that side into the the the colonies, you know, maybe they have to divert troops, and they did, right?
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:46.319
They send a militia out, just the the just the whole strategy and everything there, it's incredible.
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:57.279
Now, the slightly sad side of the story is that when the Virginia militia comes out, they want to go burn down these Indian villages, and Boone doesn't want to be a part of that.
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:08.559
He actually gets court-martialed and questioned for is he potentially a traitor, and he wasn't, obviously, and he was cleared of that, but he leaves Boonesboro because he kind of falls out of grace.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.440
And his daughter settlers there, never to return.
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.920
So it's named after him, and he's not even there anymore.
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:23.920
He's back in Virginia and doing other things, but but he then joins the colonial army and um continues to fight.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.839
And again, tragically, he's involved.
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.440
I can't remember which battle it was.
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.079
Do you remember?
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.039
I don't.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.680
Anyway, it's 1782.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.079
It was in Kentucky.
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.640
I can't remember the name of the battle.
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:44.559
And the war, if if you guys have been following us, 780, 1782, where are we at?
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.759
The war's over.
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.319
Right?
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:51.119
Yorktown had already happened, the tide had turned, it was just a matter of time.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.880
The official treaty was signed.
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.000
The battle of blue licks, that's it.
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:57.039
Thank you, Bethany.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.559
The Battle of Blue Licks.
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.359
The the um Treaty of Paris was going to be signed in in '83.
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:11.759
And I I heard uh it read somewhere it said this was the last battle of the Revolutionary War.
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:16.799
And they lost, and his son was killed in the battle.
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.799
It's like, oh my goodness.
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:27.200
And I it I don't mean it to sound wrong because everything's important, but it was an inconsequential battle.
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.240
The war was over, the war was already won.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.000
And uh that's just crazy.
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:39.039
But Daniel Boone was was larger than life.
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:44.000
And I I don't know if people today, if you even know the young kids even know who Daniel Boone was.
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:51.839
When I was a kid, we had songs about Daniel Boone, we read about him, he's singing the songs, and and he was a larger-than-life character.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.119
I think we even had an old TV show that about Daniel Boone that we used to watch black and white TV.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:07.119
But through all that, I don't think I really, like you said earlier, I don't think I realized that he was uh an integral part of the revolution in his own way.
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.440
He goes on, eventually serves in the Virginia House of Delegates.
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.559
I mean, uh just a just an amazing story.
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:27.440
Um, but these are the stories that like lead to the the greatness of America and the respect for what other people have sacrificed for us to have what we have.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.000
And these are the stories, man, we have to remember them.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:37.680
We have to appreciate what others did, were willing to do and gave for us to have the freedoms that we have.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:44.160
Yeah, so no disrespect for Nathaniel Brown or Adam Samuels.
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:46.240
Samuels.
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:49.920
But Daniel Boone, he was a revolutionary hero.
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:51.759
Great.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.240
So we we we at the beginning said something about Sons of Liberty.
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.359
We didn't get there, so that'll maybe be a different episode.
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:10.880
But um, we continue to celebrate America, we celebrate celebrate God's providence over this nation, and we challenge you to um well learn more about it.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.319
Have a great week.
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.440
God bless.
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:28.720
This is the Fred Crony reminding you that faith looks up, hope looks ahead, and love looks all around to see whom it can help.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.319
Good day.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:13.039
One other note on Daniel Boone that he actually served, maybe not like directly beside, but alongside Washington under General Braddock in the French and Indian War when uh they had the the battle near Pittsburgh.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:13.439
Yeah.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.399
So I mean he's tied in there multiple times.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:18.079
I wonder if he said yinz.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:19.839
Yinzer.
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.960
I can see him in Washington having a hey, what is on internet?
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:46.640
So why would two guys make comfortable jobs move across the country and start a business in an industry they don't know, a place they don't know, but it'd be successful?
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.479
We're Dale and Brandon Carnegie.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.479
Join us as we share our story and inspire you to become people of impact.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.840
Welcome to the Impact Without Limits Podcast.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.959
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Impact Without Limits podcast.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.239
I am Dale.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.760
The sun is shining brightly.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.040
Carmi sitting here with Stevie Wonder over there.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:12.799
Give me a little head nod.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.400
Yeah.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.760
Alright.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:23.040
So for you in Audio Land, I am wearing my shades, my uh Star-spangled banner shades.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.480
I'm gonna take them off right now because it's a little hard to see indoor.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.519
Not that I need to see.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:28.640
They match your shirt.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.400
Yeah, the shirt and the hat.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:31.439
Oh yeah.
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.799
Now it is a Forevermond hat, but I do have, if I get the camera back, flag on the side, so it is America.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.879
But um, welcome back.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.640
I'm a little more subtly American.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.200
I do have the 1776 hat on, and then I got the American polo going.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.159
I don't have a camera on me, but oh well.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.040
There it is.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.560
There's just a little just got the American flag rolling today.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.040
Oh don't forget about these.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:57.920
Oh my goodness.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.920
So this is a funny story, guys.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:12.960
I um I I I had these boots, I don't know, I've had these boots for like uh I don't know, two years, and like three or four months ago, they came up missing.
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:22.319
And I didn't, you don't really you know how when you lose something, you don't know you actually lost it, and then at some point you're it's like, I think I'm missing a pair of boots.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.199
And Lori's like, what do you mean?
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.120
I said, because I've got I don't know, I've got maybe five or six different pairs of boots.
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.800
I said, Didn't I have like these Americana boots?
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.360
And and I I don't know, it's like people are looking at me like I was a little bit crazy.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:44.639
I'm like, I know I had a pair of American boots, and then Colton had a pair of boots that had an American flag on it, but it was red, white, and blue.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.280
And it's like I asked Colton, I goes, are those my boots or those yours?
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.879
He says, No, those are mine.
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.560
So then I'm starting to question, did I really have boots?
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.400
It's like in my mind I had these American themed boots, but I knew it wasn't red, white, and blue.
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.400
I thought it was this little more subtle, and but I couldn't find them like, how do you lose a pair of boots?
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:15.120
So finally, last week, well, as podcast world goes, probably you know, four weeks ago, it was the middle of June.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.800
I'm just sitting there and I'm like, I know I had boots.
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.840
And as I'm saying this or thinking this, I get this email from Boot Barn.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.280
I love Boot Barn.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.879
A little advertisement here, maybe they'd pay us some money, Bethany.
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.000
You can go out and see.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.319
I just love shopping at Boot Barn.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.960
I got boots and jeans and shirts and all this cool stuff.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.680
I get this email from them, and it said patriotic boots.
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.879
And I clicked on the link, and there was my boots.
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.759
And it as soon as I saw them, it's like, those are the boots because I couldn't remember what they looked like.
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.120
It's a that's my boots.
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.400
So I take a picture of the screen, I send a note out to my family.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.199
Like family, if you remember, I lost my boots like four months ago.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.240
Does anybody happen to see them or whatever?
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:09.680
And like 10 minutes later, I get a picture of Lori of my boots, and they're in the basket under my locker in my house, probably right where they should have been.
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.599
I swear I looked there.
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.639
I love it.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:21.120
So they're back, they're on just in time for the semi-quincentennial, and uh just a funny little story.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.079
So we're gonna follow up that story of the question.
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:25.040
Yes, right?
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.240
We like asking the audience.
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:26.879
Audience.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.600
Yes, my Ed McMahon Johnny.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.720
Um this is gonna be this is gonna be a multiple choice.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.720
Or or a pick, you know, who doesn't belong.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.279
So I'm gonna list four names.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.319
One of them was a revolutionary character.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.439
Um three of them are not.
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.639
So I want you to tell me who is the revolutionary character.
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.560
So we're gonna start.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:12.319
Nathaniel Brown, Davy Crockett, Adam Samuels.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:14.319
Not Adam Sandler.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.480
No, Adam Samuels, Daniel Boone.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.600
So out of those four names, one of them would be considered uh part of the Revolutionary War.
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.759
I don't know if I'd say founding father, but part of that.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:32.879
Who is it?
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.480
A, B, C, or D.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.600
What was my order?
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:36.720
Nathaniel Brown.
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:42.079
Nathaniel Brown, Davy Crockett, Adam Samuels, Adam Samuels, Daniel Boone.
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.319
And I don't think I would have gotten this three months ago.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.079
Maybe I would have.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.079
But the answer is Daniel Boone.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.199
Daniel Boone.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.360
Can't put that in the title.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:58.399
Who did you get?
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.759
I don't know, but I would have thought that Daniel Brown was a foundation.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:04.800
What about Adam Samuels?
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.560
Adam Samuels is, if you didn't catch it, Samuel Adams.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.000
Oh, that is tricky.
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.160
Cam Adams was a founding father, but Adam Samuels wasn't.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.680
I just switched the name there.
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.199
Daniel Green became Nathaniel Brown.
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.759
Nathaniel Brown was not.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.439
And Davy Crockett is an American hero, but not from the Revolutionary War era.
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:27.759
Right.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:28.879
But Daniel Boone was.
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.439
Davy Crockett fought at the Alamo.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.319
He was also a representative of Tennessee.
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.759
Yep, served in Congress.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.839
And he was a frontiersman too, similar to Daniel Boone, but Daniel Boone.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.199
Here's a question Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett?
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.240
Who wins?
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.439
Listen.
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:48.959
I'm going with Boone.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.040
I'm not getting in that one.
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.120
That's that's an MMA fight that I don't know.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.240
That would be epic.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:57.120
My goodness.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.839
Yeah, the answer is they wouldn't fight each other.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.240
They'd join forces and beat everybody else.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.040
Yeah.
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.240
So two of them could take on a herd of bear.
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.439
So do bears travel in herds.
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.879
They do when they're running from Daniel Boone.
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.399
So we're going to talk about Daniel Boone.
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.240
And um again, there's history here.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.600
There's a lot of information.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.879
We're not experts.
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.879
A lot of what we're going to talk about was pulled from a show.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.439
Yeah, I would encourage everyone to watch this.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.639
So there's The Men Who Built America, which is a great series.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:33.360
It's a lot of fun.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.920
But specifically, they've got The Frontiersman.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:36.399
Yep.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.720
And the episode on Daniel Boone.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.879
Oh, it's the first episode of that.
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:41.759
Yeah.
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:43.199
So so good.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:44.240
Just awesome.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:55.040
So to set the stage, we've talked about this in previous episodes, but 1763, King George sets a proclamation that there can be no settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.600
Yeah.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:56.160
Right.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:04.879
And so the American colonists are like, I think it was to appease the Indians, Native Americans, whatever.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.879
Um, but also because he liked to just be in control.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.399
He wanted something.
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.360
And he likes to have his thumb right on top of the colonists.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.399
And so the colonists are like, no, that's not happening.
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.120
And so there's this uh push, and they were allowed to go hunt and trap and trade.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:23.920
They couldn't settle.
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.800
They couldn't settle.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.160
And so Boone was part of those guys who would go hunt and trap and trade and explore.
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:40.480
But as the story goes, he gets into a little bit of debt, and there's a judge in Virginia, yep, who says who buys a portion of land there.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:41.759
Judge Richard Henderson.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.799
Henderson, yep.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.399
When you say a portion of land, it's like the size of Kentucky.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.639
20 million acres.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.919
Can you imagine buying 20 million acres?
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.320
How do you do that?
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.720
But and he bought it from an Indian tribe.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.360
It was a legitimate purchase.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:08.399
But the problem was there were other Indian tribes that didn't think the one Indian tribe had the right to sell it.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.600
Yeah.
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.559
So it was somewhat of a contested.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.240
It was it was contested.
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.159
But he's looking for somebody to go settle it.
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:31.919
So in exchange for, you know, uh covering some of Dan Ubin's debts or getting him out of debt, he allows him to go be the face of setting up this settlement on this new land in what is present-day Kentucky.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.320
Yep.
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.919
So Daniel Boone goes out and settles this.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:42.080
First of all, and and I didn't research to know how exactly true that is.
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:52.320
But again, when you talk about thin threads, like Daniel Boone is in a courtroom because of debt that he has and can't pay.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.440
There's a possibility of going to debtor's prison.
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.360
And he's explaining why.
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.480
And he talks about exploring this frontier and hunting.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:14.159
And this judge, who just happened to have bought 20 million acres, is trying to figure out how to settle it, makes this deal and says, Look, I'll help you clear up your debt if you go settle this land for me.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.720
Yeah.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:29.919
So one other note on Daniel Boone that he actually served, maybe not like directly beside, but alongside Washington, um, under General Braddock in the French and Indian War.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:30.639
Interesting.
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.759
When uh they had the the battle near Pittsburgh.
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.240
Yeah.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.200
So I mean he's tied in there multiple times.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.799
I wonder if he said yin's yinzer.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.559
I could see him in Washington having a yins are doing.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.960
All right, so Boone goes out and settles this town called Boonesboro.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.799
And it's it's a a town, is it's almost like a giant fort.
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.000
Here again.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.799
Let's dive into it a little bit.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.080
Settle a town.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.480
He's in the middle of the wilderness.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.759
And what do you take?
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.279
I think he had 60 people with him.
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.080
Yep.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.279
And they build this fort, right?
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.960
Cutting down trees.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:11.519
Yeah.
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:20.960
They're in the middle of a wilderness, you know, days and days away from you know, I don't know how many days travel away from population.
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.200
They have to cut down the trees, they have to take the wood, right?
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:33.039
Create create the wood that they're going to use to make this fort, erect the fort, support it, go inside, dig the well.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.480
They have to do all of this.
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.960
And so Boonesboro is the settlement like really inside the fort.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.759
And why?
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.240
Because what's on out, what's outside the fort?
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:47.200
The Shawnee.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.720
The Shawnee Indians.
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:59.600
So they they they they said they couldn't even really like do a lot to create produce to have gardens and things.
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.000
Right.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:07.919
Because that the land, I mean, they they had area inside the fort, I'm sure they were in some, but the majority of the land is outside the walls of the fort.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.960
You go out there, you get hawked by the Indians.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.480
Which his daughter goes outside the walls.
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.519
She gets captured.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.799
And she gets captured.
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.480
And so what does Daniel Boone do?
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:18.879
How old?
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.519
14 years old.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.399
14 years old.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.360
Jemima.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:29.120
Which, by the way, Aunt Jemima pancakes they took away, because that was apparently racist to say Aunt Jemima.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.159
Jemima tell Daniel Boone that named his daughter that.
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.879
And she was white.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.000
Jemima didn't name his daughter that Boone named his daughter that.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:38.159
Whatever.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.919
But she's a 14-year-old.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:42.799
We don't have to go.
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.080
14-year-old named Jemima gets kidnapped by the Shawnee.
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.679
What do you do?
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:48.799
Daniel Boone?
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:49.679
You hunt him down.
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:52.320
Chases them down.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.960
Tracks them down.
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:02.320
So as the story goes, his daughter, because uh I don't know if as a parent, I say this and I mean it.
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.600
I don't have a favorite child.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.960
I don't either.
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.080
Um the reference we heard said Jama was his favorite son, his favorite son.
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:10.960
His favorite daughter.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.799
Which I do think she like would hunt and trap and things alongside.
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:21.440
So he had and maybe not favorite, but she was the one that was by his side and he taught her all this outdoor stuff.
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:45.679
So she gets captured by these Indians as taken hostage, being dragged back to their camp, and she has a wherewithal to do things like tear off little pieces of her dress and leave it, break little branches and twigs, leave a signal or a sign that says this is this is the way to find me because she knew her dad would come looking for her.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:47.600
I you know, I'm not a hunter.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:53.200
I don't know how you track things, but could you imagine trying to track in the middle of the forest?
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.159
It's crazy.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.360
But he does.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.519
And he does goes into their camp with just a few men.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.080
Yeah, what'd he take?
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:03.039
Three or four men with him.
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.480
Saves his daughter and gets back without losing anything.
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.519
His daughter and the right, and the uh there were either two or two other girls.
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.240
Yeah.
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.600
They capture him back from the Indians and return to the fort.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.639
I mean, you talk about legendary, you talk about epic, heroic.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.559
Oh my goodness.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.600
So his legend starts to grow.
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.320
Yeah, right.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.240
I mean, how couldn't it?
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:34.799
And he leads this group of people through the wilderness, they develop, they build this fort, his daughter gets captured, and he he goes.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.360
That's like it's walking.
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.720
You're talking about a bear earlier.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:43.679
That's like the bear is in the cave, and you go into the bear cave and you take the food off the bear.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.679
The honey insane.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.159
The honey is because you know the bear's in there like poo.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.159
He's eating the poney, eating the poney.
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.279
You just take it.
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.080
So uh just crazy.
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.080
Yeah, but it it grows from there.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:05.519
Yeah, so then you talked about being in this walled fort, wood-walled fort, and they have to preserve their food with salt.
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.799
This is crazy to me.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:18.720
I learned that a salt lick is a mineral stream that they would then like it's a water source that has a bunch of minerals in it, that they would create salt from, they'd boil it down, right?
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:23.600
Yeah, and they said it would take 500 gallons of water to boil down and get 50 pounds of salt.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.480
Yeah.
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.279
Right?
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.360
And so they get this this That's insane.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.159
They're going out to make salt and they need like 1,500 pounds of salt.
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.120
Yes.
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.840
Yeah, it was 15, they needed 15,000 to get through the winter.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.399
And they could do 500 pounds a day if they boiled all that water.
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.480
So it was gonna take them 30 days.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:54.240
So this group of men out for 30 days just boiling water, getting it down to salt, bagging it.
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.919
Can you imagine carrying 15,000 pounds of salt back?
00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:58.799
No.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.600
I mean, obviously they they must have built wagons, and maybe they had horses were gonna pull the wagons or whatever.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.879
So they're out in the wilderness for 30 days.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.200
And what happens?
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.399
They get kidnapped.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.440
The Shawnee coming.
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.639
Who was the leader of the Shawnee?
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.200
Do you remember?
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.080
Blackfish.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.960
Blackfish.
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.000
That sounds like trouble.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.120
Blackfish.
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.559
Chief Blackfish captures them, takes them prisoner.
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:29.519
And so they had this thing where the the British had put a bounty on any settlers that the Indians would turn over, they'd pay them for it.
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.879
100 bucks a person, which is a lot of money back then.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.840
And and so so let's let's dive into this.
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.000
What why why are the Brits doing that?
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.360
Because this the time frame this is happening, we didn't set that.
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:43.840
No, we didn't.
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.399
This is like 1775.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.320
Yeah, that I think when he gets captured, we might be in December.
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.519
It might have been 77.
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.000
Yeah.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.960
Yeah, it was 77.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.320
But when when he first ventured out, I think it was 75.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:03.200
Yep, I and as they're building the fort, the declaration gets signed, they get news, the declaration is signed.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.519
Um, he gets captured, so now it's 76 or 77.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:24.000
But the British were using the Indians to like attack the Western Front, which was Kentucky, the Ohio Valley, all of that, to unsettle the the colonists.
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:35.440
Like, you're up here battling in Boston and Philadelphia and the the Northeast, and all of a sudden you've got people getting captured and taken down on the Western Front.
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.920
So actually, really smart to the British.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.920
That kind of makes me mad.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.440
Well, a lot of things the British did make me mad.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.440
So after Blackfish and the Shawnee capture them, they have them run the gauntlet.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:49.680
Yeah.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.039
Which I remember in football practice we used to run the gauntlet.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.640
We did, it all makes sense.
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:55.920
Yeah, and it does, right?
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.839
The the Indians lined up on either side and you had to run through them, and they're like hitting you, punching you.
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:09.680
Club clubs and hatchets, and they said a lot of people running the hatchet, or running the gauntlet didn't make it, didn't make it.
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.799
Not didn't make it through the gauntlet, they did it, didn't live.
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:21.599
And Daniel Boone makes it through and kind of like gains the respect of black fish, and they actually kind of become friends.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.000
Yeah.
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.000
And we left something out earlier.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.559
Okay.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:31.359
When Daniel Boone first goes to the wilderness, his son is captured and tortured and killed by Indians.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:40.799
Before Jemima got abducted, he had a son that was killed by the Indians.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:48.240
So now he you know, you would think he could have just this terrible animosity and hatred towards him.
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.720
He killed a son, kidnap the daughter, capture him.
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.920
But he actually develops a little bit of a relationship with Blackfish.
00:18:54.160 --> 00:19:01.920
Yeah, I read one article that said Blackfish adopted him almost as a son, named him the Big Turtle, which I think is humorous.
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:09.119
I don't know why, but names him the Big Turtle, and and he spends months living with these Indians, right?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:16.000
And yeah, I because I think they said it was three, maybe three months, four months.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:26.240
He was with the Indians before they transported him to Fort Detroit up in Michigan, which was a major um English fort or base.
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:26.559
Yep.
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:34.000
And that's where the Indians get the bounty for the uh the Americans because they had they had a group of them.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.599
I don't know how many were there.
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.039
But the British say, hey, we don't just want the men.
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:44.480
What we want you to do is take these men and go back and take that Boonsboro.
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.599
We want Boonsboro.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:20:05.279
So now you've got the guy who knows the details, use him as information to go and so they're and and like they wanted him to they wanted Daniel Boone under the captivity of the Indians and the English to negotiate the surrender of the turnover of Boonesboro.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:05.839
Right.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:15.680
So they start heading back from Detroit back to Kentucky, which is I don't know, 300 miles, yeah, something like that.
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:22.400
And along the way, Daniel Boone, he's he hurt, I mean, he knows what's going on.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.960
He's like, Yeah, we're not gonna do this.
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.559
He escapes.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:56.480
He escapes from this group of Indians traveling down to uh to take over Boonesboro, and he ends up traveling 150 miles on foot, outrunning the Indians and trying to hide his trail so he's being careful, he's walking in circles doing all this stuff, and while he's evading them and hiding his trail, he still travels 150 miles.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.720
I think they said in four days.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.240
It's crazy.
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:09.039
I mean, absolutely astounding what this man did, and gets back to the fort before the Indians to warn them that he's this is coming.
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.279
He's been gone four months at this time.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:16.000
His wife and kids actually went back to Virginia thinking he was dead.
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:23.839
But his daughter, Jemima, probably 16 at the time, stayed there waiting for him because she was convinced her dad would come back.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.160
Hey, he didn't give up on her, she didn't give up on her.
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.200
Oh my goodness.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:29.920
And then he tells the people, hey, get ready.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.279
We gotta make gunpowder.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.920
By the way, did you see how they made gunpowder?
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:39.839
They take sulfur, something else, and bat dung, and they mix it together and they went.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.160
I had I had no idea how you made gunpowder.
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:43.039
Apparently, bat dung.
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.920
There you go.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:45.039
Hey, later today.
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.960
I learned about assault lick and bat dung gunpowder, all in the same.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.480
So much to learn.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.119
But anyway, so they they get all these things.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.440
They're they're making uh uh shot for their their guns, ammunition, melting down leads.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.960
And things.
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:06.000
And they they just there's 60 of them, or they might be down to 40 at this point.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.319
And they say, hey, we're gonna hold up against the Indians.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.680
And Chief Blackfish and the Shawnee come.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.440
And at first, Boone goes out and they try and negotiate.
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:24.240
And I saw some things that Boone was probably stalling, trying to drag this out as much as he could, because they had sent for Virginia militia.
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.519
Yes, they had requested Virginia.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.920
And they were waiting for the militia to come back.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.960
But at some point the fighting breaks out.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:35.920
And so you've got these settlers set up inside this fort.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.799
He must have built a pretty good fort.
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:39.920
Oh my goodness.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.039
Think about that.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.920
It's crazy.
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.400
So yes.
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.799
Didn't they say it was 450?
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.759
450.
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.359
Seven to one or something.
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.640
Yeah, it must have been 60 people there.
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:56.000
It was like seven to one war Indian warriors versus men, women, and probably a few teenagers.
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.599
Certainly Jemima was there.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.279
I don't know if there were others.
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.680
And this they they they attacked, right?
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:10.160
The siege comes and and uh and they repel them day one.
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:17.039
And then and a lot of Indians died, and then day two they come again and they get repelled again.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.680
And then the Indians start saying, We gotta try a different approach.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.440
And they would like they tried tunneling at one point.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.160
Yeah, they would just try surprise attacks.
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.200
Right?
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:36.400
And and try and get up and and ram the wall or knock down the wall, but they would they they it was like hit and run tactics.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:43.440
They they would fake this way and come from that way and just just try and find some way to get into the fort.
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.240
And they continued to turn them away for ten days.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.039
And they're stuck inside the fort, right?
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.160
Yeah.
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:59.920
So they look you gotta go to the bathroom in ten days.
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.759
Somebody probably had to go to the bathroom.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:02.720
Right?
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.839
It's all inside there the waste of the food, of everything, right?
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.599
They couldn't get more new food.
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:19.680
They're running low on ammo, they're running low on supplies, it's looking grim, but but they're still hanging on in hopes that the militia comes.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.559
Yep.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.839
And as it was depicted in the show, and I did, I was looking to read it.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.200
I think this is accurate.
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.079
Is it accurate?
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.559
Yeah.
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.799
So day 10, the Indians are like, all right, we're gonna take a different approach.
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:41.039
And they they start using fiery arrows, and they light the arrows and they shoot them into the fort, and they catch the fort on fire.
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:48.720
They're trying to burn it down, either force them out, or the fort catches fire, the walls burn, and they can go in.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.920
Providentially, what happens?
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.200
It rains.
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.839
And at this point, Chief Blackfish is just like, I give up.
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.640
Like, there is something different going on here.
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:12.400
And they they had a they had a scout report that the militia was on the way, yep, and their fire attack was thwarted, and that's like we can't do this.
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.599
So, yeah, the Shawnee and Blackfish turn and go back, and Daniel Boone is just.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:24.559
I mean, that's a major battle on the Western front of the Revolutionary War.
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.839
It's crazy.
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:40.319
And the the the psychological impact, if you lose that, if you lose that town, and the fear that begins to creep in from that side into the the the colonies, you know, maybe they have to divert troops, and they did, right?
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:46.319
They send a militia out, just the the just the whole strategy and everything there, it's incredible.
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:57.279
Now, the slightly sad side of the story is that when the Virginia militia comes out, they want to go burn down these Indian villages, and Boone doesn't want to be a part of that.
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:08.559
He actually gets court-martialed and questioned for is he potentially a traitor, and he wasn't, obviously, and he was cleared of that, but he leaves Boonesboro because he kind of falls out of grace.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.440
And his daughter settlers there, never to return.
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.920
So it's named after him, and he's not even there anymore.
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:23.920
He's back in Virginia and doing other things, but but he then joins the colonial army and um continues to fight.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.839
And again, tragically, he's involved.
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.440
I can't remember which battle it was.
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.079
Do you remember?
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.039
I don't.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.680
Anyway, it's 1782.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.079
It was in Kentucky.
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.640
I can't remember the name of the battle.
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:44.559
And the war, if if you guys have been following us, 780, 1782, where are we at?
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.759
The war's over.
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.319
Right?
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:51.119
Yorktown had already happened, the tide had turned, it was just a matter of time.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.880
The official treaty was signed.
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.000
The battle of blue licks, that's it.
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:57.039
Thank you, Bethany.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.559
The Battle of Blue Licks.
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.359
The the um Treaty of Paris was going to be signed in in '83.
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:11.759
And I I heard uh it read somewhere it said this was the last battle of the Revolutionary War.
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:16.799
And they lost, and his son was killed in the battle.
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.799
It's like, oh my goodness.
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:27.200
And I it I don't mean it to sound wrong because everything's important, but it was an inconsequential battle.
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.240
The war was over, the war was already won.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.000
And uh that's just crazy.
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:39.039
But Daniel Boone was was larger than life.
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:44.000
And I I don't know if people today, if you even know the young kids even know who Daniel Boone was.
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:51.839
When I was a kid, we had songs about Daniel Boone, we read about him, he's singing the songs, and and he was a larger-than-life character.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.119
I think we even had an old TV show that about Daniel Boone that we used to watch black and white TV.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:07.119
But through all that, I don't think I really, like you said earlier, I don't think I realized that he was uh an integral part of the revolution in his own way.
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.440
He goes on, eventually serves in the Virginia House of Delegates.
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.559
I mean, uh just a just an amazing story.
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:27.440
Um, but these are the stories that like lead to the the greatness of America and the respect for what other people have sacrificed for us to have what we have.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.000
And these are the stories, man, we have to remember them.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:37.680
We have to appreciate what others did, were willing to do and gave for us to have the freedoms that we have.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:44.160
Yeah, so no disrespect for Nathaniel Brown or Adam Samuels.
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:46.240
Samuels.
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:49.920
But Daniel Boone, he was a revolutionary hero.
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:51.759
Great.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.240
So we we we at the beginning said something about Sons of Liberty.
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.359
We didn't get there, so that'll maybe be a different episode.
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:10.880
But um, we continue to celebrate America, we celebrate celebrate God's providence over this nation, and we challenge you to um well learn more about it.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.319
Have a great week.
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.440
God bless.
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:28.720
This is the Fred Crony reminding you that faith looks up, hope looks ahead, and love looks all around to see whom it can help.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.319
Good day.
