"Our Peace with the Indians is likely to be of
short duration. The Indians and White People
have already been killing one another. The dispute
first began by the Indians plundering three waggons
loaded, passing from Knoxville to Cumberland.-
Since that time, two men living in Powell's Valley,
murdered two Indians who were hunting on the
Wilderness road, and plundered their camp. This
day we hear the Indians have killed Colonel Daniel
Boone, his son, and son-in-law, when out viewing
lands on Red River. This latter report wants con-
firmation, though it comes pretty direct."
