Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of Harman's Station: With an Account of the Indian Captivity of Mrs. Jennie Wiley and the Exploration and Settlement of the Big Sandy Valley in the Virginias and Kentucky In the early days of the settlement of the Big Sandy Valley this stream was known altogether as the Louisa River. As late as 1825 it was generally called the Louisa River. After that time, and to some extent before, the name began to be corrupted to that of Levisa. The name Levisa is now used almost entirely. That the name is a corruption of the true name, Louisa, M181?20are preserved mainly in tradition. Indeed, it is to tradi tion principally that we must look for the sources of much of the history of all Eastern Kentucky. For the history of Kentucky, so far as it has been. Written at all, deals almost wholly with events which transpired in the blue grass region of the State. Thirteen years after the establishment of the first per manent white settlement of Kentucky at Harrodsburg a strong healthy settlement of hardy, bold, self-reliant back woodsmen was made in what is now Johnson County. Among the founders of this settlement were a number of the most noted explorers, scouts, guides, riflemen, and Indian fighters ever developed by the harsh and dangerous times of the frontier days of Virginia and the Carolinas. Why some substantial account of the station founded by these men in that wilderness was not made a matter of record by some historical writer of those times is one of the strange things occasionally found in the annals of a State. In the company which made this settlement were Matthias Harman, Henry Skaggs, James Skaggs, and Robert Hawes, all members of that famous party known in history as the Long Hunters. These and others of the company had been in the front ranks of those audacious rangers of the wilderness who wrested the Ohio Valley from its savage owners. Through this settlement they seized and finally held the valley of the Louisa River. The contest was desperate, and they were forced to aban don their station for a time by fierce and frequent attacks made upon it by the Indian tribes living beyond the Ohio.

Excerpt: ...Preston, who had about one hundred men in his command was notified, and made a junction with Harman the next day at or near the present site of Welch. With this force they pushed down the Tug River to its junction-with Levisa, and then down the Big Sandy as rapidly as possible, keeping their scouts in advance of them, but they failed to overtake the Indians; in fact they lost all;sign of their trail after passing the mouth of Jennie's Creek, on Tug River. When in about eight miles of the mouth of the Big Sandy, at what is now White's Creek, Airs. Wiley at the mouth of Little Paint Creek (East Point) in her escape from the Indians the scouts reported a large force of Indians, estimated at a thousand warriors, in front of them, and rapidly advancing up the river. The men had not stopped to hunt on the march, and they were entirely out of provisions, and the forced march which they had made had jaded both horses and men. Less than one hundred and fifty men in a wilderness, more than two hundred miles from a settlement, fronted by a wily and savage foe, numbering more than five to one, and acquainted with every mountain pass in the country, by which a party could have been thrown in their front and an ambuscade formed, was indeed a critical position. To fight was certain death and even retreat promised but little else. Nothing else, however, remained to be done, and posting his most experienced men in the rear of his column, Gen. Preston and his brave men, chagrined at their failure in recapturing the prisoners who had been taken from Ab's Valley, set out on their weary retreat up the river. In the meantime a heavy rain had commenced, and the mountain streams were in places overflowing their banks, making fording at times difficult, while the...

Download or read book The Big Sandy written by Carol Crowe-Carraco and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Sandy River and its two main tributaries, the Tug and Levisa forks, drain nearly two million mountainous acres in the easternmost part of Kentucky. For generations, the only practical means of transportation and contact with the outside world was the river, and, as The Big Sandy demonstrates, steamboats did much to shape the culture of the region. Carol Crowe-Carraco offers an intriguing and readable account of this region's history from the days of the venturesome Long Hunters of the eighteenth century, through the bitter struggles of the Civil War and its aftermath, up to the 1970s, with their uncertain promise of a new prosperity. The Big Sandy pictures these changes vividly while showing how the turbulent past of the valley lives on in the region's present.

Book excerpt: Caroline Gordon, regarded as a minor figure of the Southern Renaissance, was enviviosned as a writer, sometimes as a mother, but most often as a wife to Allen Tate and as a hostess and novelist who entertained and sometimes mentored artists visiting their home in Tennessee. This critical interpretation assesses Caroline Gordon's early struggles to gain voice and respect as a writer, her tendency to explore themes of sexual and racial tension, and the strange and lurid bloom of Gordon's genius.
