Those Dern Ole Redskins
Kentucky News
from The Hampshire Chronicle

Lexington, Kentucky, August 22,
1789
On the night of
the 10th inst. three Indians (supposed to be the same that killed the two Negro
children, and wounded the two Negroes near Colonel Johnson's) stole three horses
from Captain Buford on Cane Run; They were pursued by Col. Johnson with about 40
men to the Ohio river, 24 of whom crossed the river, and two from a boat going
down the river joining them, they followed them to a camp about twelve miles
from the Ohio and attacked them early in the morning and drove them out of their
camp, when they dispersed. The men collected the horses, when Mr. Moses
Grant rode up a small hill to see his brother who fell in the action, the
Indians who had collected again fired on him, upon which they rode off for the
Ohio, being pursued by the Indians, who wounded three horses on the retreat.
We had three men killed and two wounded; and it is thought twelve or fourteen
Indians are killed and wounded.
(This is poorly written and I feel an
apology is in order,
However, I just copied it from the Newspaper.)
