Link to book on James Harrod

[KY Hiker]

I came across this while chasing another topic about pioneer routes through KY and thought some may find it interesting. James Harrod, founder of Ft. Harrod/Harrodsburg, KY and the first settlement in KY. A lot of research went into it, this chapter is about his disappearance while looking for the Swift mine. Read it all or skip down to page 231 where the details are written.

I stumbled across this today, the channel on YouTube is geared toward 18th century lifestyle and such. From recipes to other's 'Journals' kept by Swift contemporaries there is a lot to digest from this channel. This video is about dug out canoes that were used during this period.
