In early September 1778, 400 Shawnee warriors surrounded the fledgling settlement fort of Boonesborough in today's Kentucky. That day, Daniel Boone gave the settlers' a choice - surrender or face death. 

​

A quick, concise historical account and power-point presentation of the 1778 Big Siege of Fort Boonesboroug, its impact on the vastness and richness of the trans-Appalachian region, and the high stakes game that ultimately the siege won for young United States after the Treaty of Paris in 1783. 

​

Based on historical accounts, and Donna's book The Big Siege of Fort Boonesborough and the Winning of the American West, this is a perfect presentation for history clubs, genealogy clubs, and national societies such as The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
