Brief history: A younger contemporary of Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton was one of the most influential frontiersmen in the opening and settling of the Ohio River Valley and Kentucky .   Known to the Shawnee as Cut-ha-ho-tha or Great White Wolf, he was a significant player in the battle for the, then, western frontier of the 1770’s.  Not only was he an expert guide and hunter, he also served during the Revolutionary War as a scout for George Rogers Clark and even saved Daniel Boones life at the Battle of Boonesborough on April 24, 1777.   He shot a Shawnee brave about to take Boon’s scalp after Boone’s leg had been broken by a musket ball, and then carried Boone into the safety of the fort. Not as famous as Boone today he was nonetheless as famous as him in the 1770’s.  This figure depicts Kenton as he might have looked in 1777 the “year of the three sevens”.
