The wilderness trail; or, The ventures and adventures of the Pennsylvania traders on the Allegheny path, with some new annals of the Old West, and the records of some strong men and some bad ones . John Finley; and Kentucky before Boone 213 might be rejected. Drapers conclusions were, however, frequentlyformed from cumulative evidence, all of which is not extant, even in hisnotes; he was always careful in drawing conclusions, so that his accountseems probable, although not positive. Draper thinks that the LittlePict Town was Eskippakithika, on Lulbegrud Creek of Red River ofKentucky, twenty-five miles south of Upper Blue Licks, where theWarriors Road crossed the Licking. This town was settled (1745) bya band of Shawnee under Peter Chartier, acting in the French interests,and broken up about 1748. A few warriors either remained here orreturned in the hunting season until about 1755. Authorities cited onthis point: Penn. Col. Records; Gordons [History of Pennsylvania;Rupps History of Western Pennsylvania; Adairs Southern Indians,pp. 2, 3,155,156, 410; Maryland Gazette, July 5, Aug. 2, 1759; HaywoodsTennessee; statements of Black-hoof, a Shawnee chief.
