Fort Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places and,
although seldom mentioned in popular accounts, women were there
from the very beginning. This work includes 195 women whose
presence at the fort can be reasonably documented by historical
evidence. The time period was limited to the years between 1775,
when the fort was established, and 1784, when the threat of Indian
attack at Boonesborough had subsided and the fort's stockade walls
had been taken down. The names of the female children these pioneer
women brought to the fort are also included, as they shared the
risks and hardships of frontier life. The work includes a
Historical Sketch describing the women's experiences at the fort
and a Biographical Section that gives a brief personal history of
each woman. 174 pp., illus., indexed, paper.
