An American history . X The Siege of Yorktown The Birth of the Nation 145 It was a bitter disappointment to the ambitious frontiersmen, 182. Theafter having defeated the French attempt to shut them in be- ^rcrof^thehind the mountains, to have the British liing adopt the same pio^^erspolicy. They felt that they were being kept out of a regiondestined for them by nature, and they resented being left exposedto danger from the fierce Indians that swept up and down thefrontier in their intertribal raids and wars. Therefore the sturdy. A Pioneer Kentucky Settlement woodsmen and pioneers from the back counties of Pennsyl-vania, Virginia, and the Carolinas had pushed across the moun-tains into the densely wooded land of the Ohio, the Cumberland,and the Tennessee valleys. In 1769 Daniel Boone, the most cele-brated of these pioneers, set out from his home in North Car-olina to seek Kentucke (the dark and bloody ground ),which was stained by centuries of Indian feuds. In the nextthree years Virginia pioneers, led by James Robertson and JohnSevier, had founded settlements on the Watauga River in the 146 Separation of the Colonies from England western mountains of North Carolina; and, like the early emi-grants to the shores of New England, were devising a govern-ment even while they were clearing the soil and defending theirrude homes against the attack of the savages.
