Step back in time.  Become a frontiersman or woman, and see Eastern Kentucky as you have never seen it before in a true American tale about struggle for western expansion on the Kentucky frontier.

 

On Monday evening last, Morgan's Station on Slate Creek was taken and burnt by a party of thirty-five Indians.  Two of the inhabitants were killed and nineteen taken prisoner.  They were pursued, and within about thrity miles the whole of the prisoners were found tomahawked and scalped... one of which (a woman) was found alive and in her senses, after being tomahawked and two scalps taken off.

 

The article above, on page three of the Kentucky Gazette, details Robert Craig's description of events.  Only Craig, a distraught husband and grieving father, was not wholly accurate in his description.  Not all the captives were killed during the escape from Morgan's Station. Negotiations won back several of the enslaved over the years.  But then, it is also true that some were never seen or heard from again.
