The book provides a detailed account of the exploration and settlement of the Big Sandy Valley in the Virginias and Kentucky during the 18th century. It focuses on the founding of Harman’s Station, a frontier fort established in 1774 by James Harman to protect settlers from attacks by Native Americans.The book also includes a harrowing account of the Indian captivity of Mrs. Jennie Wiley, a pioneer woman who was captured by Native Americans in 1789 and held captive for months before finally escaping. Connelley provides a detailed retelling of her experiences and the hardships she faced during her captivity.Throughout the book, Connelley provides a vivid portrayal of the challenges faced by early settlers in the Big Sandy Valley, including the constant threat of Native American attacks, harsh living conditions, and the struggle to establish a new way of life in a rugged and untamed wilderness.Overall, ''The Founding of Harman’s Station'' is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the American frontier and the challenges faced by early settlers in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
