Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered on the Occasion of the Centennial Commemoration of the Battle of the Blue Licks, 19th August, 1882The spring of 1769 saw him returning to his new-found hunting grounds, and with him the five companions whom every historian of our State must record as the advance guard of Kentucky. They were, with the single exception Of boone, obscure men, whose past experience was of the rudest life, and to whom no dream Of ambition or thought of fame was known. They filled their appointed place in the great drama that was preparing, and passed into oblivion with the shifting of its first scene.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
