Let's Honor James Boone This Time In Scot County in southwestern Virginia stands a state highway historical marker reading, "Near here, October 10, 1773, James Boone, son of Daniel Boone, and Henry Russell, members of Boone's party on the way to Kentucky, were surprised and killed by Indians." That is probably the only monument to James Boone, for there are no towns, counties highways, wines or television shows named for him. Such names are traced back to his father, skipping over James as if he never existed. North Carolinians, however, ought to take some pride in James. After all, unlike his father, he was a native of our state and grew up along the tributaries of the Yadkin River in the area in and around the present Davie County. James, the first child of Daniel and Rebecca Bryan Boone, was born in 1757, only a few years after Daniel had come with his parents from Pennsylvania to backwoods of North Carolina. Virtually nothing is known of James's childhood, but it is not difficult to picture the very special place he occupied in Daniel Boone's affection. Although Rebecca gave birth to eight other children, undoubtedly the firstborn son received favored attention from his father, Daniel, who spent much of his time - particularly in the fall and winter - in scouting and hunting, often took the lad along, teaching him the skills of a frontiersman. Although Daniel Boone had explored the area several times before, it was not until 1773 that he sold his North Carolina property and packed his remaining worldly goods upon horses. In September, his family and a number of friends began the long trip to their new homes in what is now Kentucky. In the Clinch RIver valley of southwestern Virginia they received aid from William Russell, a pioneer settler there, and then pushed on. After doing some mental figuring, however, Daniel decid- ed that they needed more food stuff and tools, so he asked James to take a party back to Russell's and pick up the additional supplies. The impetuous teenager rode off alone. He arrived safely, but Russell insisted that his own son, Henry, and several of his hands return to camp with James. After all, the Shawnees were in an ugly mood over the white incursions. On the way back to the Boone camp, the group because lost, and as night fell they decided to camp near Walden's Creek. During the night a party of Shawnees saw the light from the campfire, slipped up and fired into the sleeping men. Several were killed, James and Henry were wounded and one of Russell's slaves slipped into the underbrush and witnessed the ago- nizing hours that followed. Instead of ending the misery of the two wound- ed boys, the Shawnees proceeded to torture them with knives. The atrocity was all the more incom- prehensible because the leader of the band was Big Jim, a Shawnee who had often visited the Boone cabin and whom Daniel had counted as a friend. The pleas of the youths that their pain be ended with one blow of a tomahawk were ignored, and the slicing of strips of flesh continued until they both finally died. James was only sixteen years old, and unknown to the party, they had reached to within three miles of his father's camp. Three miles between death and safety. The bodies were found the next morning, and James was buried nearby. Daniel, upon hearing the news, prepared for an anticipated attack upon his camp. But he also took time out to visit the fresh grave of his son, making sure that it was covered with logs to prevent violation of the body by ani- mals. While Daniel wanted to push on to Kentucky, the incident caused the remaining families to lose heart, and they turned back. Daniel and Rebecca and their family, however, occupied a vacant cabin and remained in the Clinch River area until 1775, when they finally reached their destination. Another son, Israel, also lost his life in an Indian raid in 1782. Daniel and Rebecca later moved to Missouri, where Daniel died in 1820. - Originally published October 5, 1977 This tale is from Dr. H. G.
