Per Riherd--from "A Sesquicentennial History of Kentucky" page 58. "Perhaps the most picturesque excursion into Kentucky during the time (around 1769) was that of the "Long Hunters," so called because of their long hunt. This company, formed in the New River and Holston River valleys (of Virginia) in the summer of 1770, was under the leadership of Joseph Drake and Henry Skaggs, two superb woodsmen; it proposed both to hunt and explore west of Cumberland Mountain. The party, about forty of the most noted and successful hunters of their communities, set out in early autumn heavily armed and prepared to live off the land, each man taking along three packhorses, rifles, ammunition, traps, dogs, blankets, and salt and clad in the dearskin garb of the times. Plunging through Cumberland Gap without untoward incident, the Hunters made for the salt licks, as was customary, because there animals could be found in profusion." The story is continued in Allen's "History of Ky" page 138: "McFadden's Old Station is four miles above Bowlinggreen, on Barren River. On the north side of the river, three miles from Bowling Green, many inscriptions are to be found upon the beech trees, indicating that a camp had been there for some ten or twelve days; the dates under the names extending from the 13th to the 23d of June, 1775. It is conjectured by some to be the camp of the Long Hunters. The highest of the names on one tree was nine feet, and lowest four feet from the ground, there being thirteen names as follows: J. Newell, E. Bulger, J. Hite, V. Harman, J. Jac,man, W. Buchanan, A. Bowman, J. Drake, O. Nall, H. Skaggs, J. Bowman, Thomas Slaughter, J. Todd. There are a number of names on other trees close by, some bearing the dates June 14th, June 15th, June 17th and others June 23d. On another tree, about fifty yards off, appear two names, one bearing the date of 1779, the other 1796." On page 148, the names appear again..
