In March 1775 Daniel Boone and 33 pioneers were blazing a trail, later known as Boone's Trace. They camped overnight and were attacked by Native Americans. Captain Twetty was mortally wounded and his slave Sam was killed instantly. Felix Walker was wounded but survived and wrote of these events in his diary. The shelter the men built at this site for the wounded became known as Fort Twetty.
