The purpose of this study is to chronicle the lives of African
Americans who were at Fort Boonesborough. We limited the scope of
our narrative to the years the fort stood, 1775 and 1784. Fort
Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places. It was the
wilderness outpost of Richard Henderson's Transylvania Company and,
for a few years, was home to Daniel Boone. Due to Boone's
involvement, few places in early Kentucky have been so well
documented and written about. It will surprise no one to learn that
the early records and subsequent historical accounts mainly involve
the white males who settled there. There are biographical sketches
for Monk Estill, the "black Indian" Pompey, Frederick Hart, John
Sidebottom, and others less well known. Our work identifies only a
fraction of the pioneer African Americans of Kentucky. Many more
deserve to be remembered and commemorated.
