Early had a signal station on Masanutten mountain from which he ascertained exactly the situation of the national camps. The cavalry was on the right, Crook had the left, while the Sixth and Nineteenth corps, under Getty and Emory, lay between. To turn the left of Wright's command the rebels must first cross the North Fork near Fisher's Hill, then mov

ir support, and they charge through the town, capturing two guns placed in battery at the market-place, and reach a small bridge on which a railroad passes to enter the city. The Federals burn the bridge, and thus cut the road, but their position soon becomes critical. The railroad brings a reinforcement of two hundred men to the Southerners, who move forward from house to house, sheltered from the enemy's balls. The Federal officers serve as a target to the skilful Virginia hunters. Colonel Powell, commanding the Unionist cavalry, is seriously wounded. Despite Toland's arrival with the Thirty-fourth Ohio, the Federals, driven from all the streets, are compelled to take refuge in the market-place; Toland is soon killed and the number of wounded rapidly increases. The Unionists, to keep off the enemies they cannot reach, set the houses on fire and retreat, leaving their wounded and the guns which they have captured. The Confederates drive them out of the town, rescue the prisoner

w home on the banks of the Mississippi, risked his life at every step; so that a system of independent defence and private war became the custom of the backwoods. The settler had every motive to preserve peace; yet he could not be turned from his purpose by fear, and trusted for security in the forest to his perpetual readiness for self-defence. Not a year passed away without a massacre of pioneers. Near the end of 1773, Daniel Boone would have taken his wife and children to Kentucky. At Powell's valley, he was joined by five families and forty men. On or near the tenth of October, as they approached Cumberland Gap, the young men who had charge of the pack-horses and cattle in the rear, were suddenly attacked by Indians; one only escaped; the remaining six, among whom was Boone's eldest son, were killed on the spot; so that the survivors of the party were forced to turn back to the settlements on Clinch river. When the Cherokees were summoned from Virginia to give up the offenders

and by the very principles on which it was formed, it unconsciously renounced dependence on Britain. Henderson and his associates had, during the winter, negotiated a treaty with the Cherokees for the land between the Ohio, the Cumberland mountains, the Cumberland river, and the Kentucky river; on the seventeenth of March they received their deed. To this territory, Daniel Boone, with a body of en- Chap. XXXV.} 1775.

On the twenty-fifth of the month they were waylaid by Indians, who killed two men and wounded another very severely. Two days later the savages killed and scalped two more. Now, wrote Daniel Boone, is the time to keep the country while we are in it. If we give way now, it will ever be the case, and he pressed forward to the Kentucky river. There, on the first day of April, at the distance of about sixty yards from its west bank, nea
