TILL now, few persons have known how great a debt the Republic owes to that small and almost forgotten body of frontiersmen who, in their day, were styled the "Hunters of Kentucky." There has never been any fitting recognition of the services which they rendered to the progress of civilization on this continent. It is true, a sort of halo has invested their memories. The stories of their adventures which have come down-the traditions which illustrate their independent spirit, their courage, their many strong and good qualities-have awakened the admiration of successive generations all over the land. There is an air of romance which surrounds everything connected with the free lives which those brave men led in the great forests south of the Ohio. The exploits and the virtues of the "Hunters of Kentucky" have been made the theme of numberless songs, which have aroused and strengthened patriotic feeling in the breasts of millions. But very few persons have ever understood that those unlettered men are to be ranked among the foremost builders of the nation. They went out into the interminable forests beyond the Alleghanies, they builded their log-cabins in the clearings, they hunted the wild animals, with their rifles ever within easy reach they cultivated the little patches of ground which they had reclaimed from the wilderness, they married, they brought up children, they beat back the attacks of the savage red men, they lived busy and joyous lives, they did the work before them, they died—and they did not even know that they had done a great work which would make all succeeding generations their debtors. As they passed away, one by one, the memories of what they had done became more and more obscure. They not only did not realize themselves the value of what they did, but, through all the century which has passed, they have had no one to speak for them. They and their services were both beginning to be forgotten. It was as if a great black cloud had shut down behind them. At last a spokesman has appeared for those unlettered backwoodsmen of a hundred years ago. He is one of themselvesa hunter! None but a hunter could properly have understood them! Mr. Roosevelt-the author of the two handsome volumes whose title we have placed at the head of this Articleis widely known in other connections; but he is, none the less, a hunter! For many years he spent most of his time on the frontier, and lived and worked there like any other frontiersman. His home was far to the west of the old hunting grounds of Daniel Boon and his comrades. He says himself that "there were many features in which his life, on the Great Plains and among the Rockies, differed from that led by the backwoodsman in the Alleghany forests a century before." Yet he claims that the points of resemblance were far more numerous and striking. He says: "We guarded our herds of branded cattle and shaggy horses, hunted bears, bison, elk, and deer, |
