I don’t know who keeps the Kentucky pinglist but something like 9 KY counties are named for men who died here.

Thanks for this post. We are fortunate to have people dedicated to keeping alive and re-enacting these historic events. Hopefully some of those kids watching this will have their imaginations stirred and will be inspired to follow through with either amateur or professional careers in history.

A re-enactment?

Who do they get to play the role of the bloodthirsty savages...I mean...”Native Americans?”

1st Kentucky Volunteer Rifle Regiment, Lieutenant John Williamson, was my 4th great grand uncle, brother to my 4th gr grandfather, Moses.
He was killed in this battle.
Thank you for adding to our family records by posting this informative thread.

It seems that almost all the big fights and killings of the Indian Wars were east of the Mississippi.
