Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Battle of Blue Licks: August 19, 1782
This conflict was the last battle of any consequence in Kentucky between the settlers and the savages. In it, some of the most brilliant and courageous men who lived in that period of the world, poured out their blood for the common defense.
An association has been organized at Carlisle, Ken tucky, for the purpose of erecting a monument to the men who, on that eventful day, perished in that conflict.
The history of the Battle of Blue Licks, contained in the succeeding pages, was written at the request and for the use of the Filson Club, of Louisville, Kentucky, as a sequel to the history of the Siege of Bryant's Station, and it is a part of the Twelfth Volume of the Filson Club Publications.
