Would have been cool to be born about 1730. Experience the French and Indian wars. Also, it would have been amazing to experience Kentucky before it got all full of Kentuckians. The tales say it was a hunters paradise before the Cumberland Gap stuff.
Unless you got captured and tortured to death by the Indians. Or got a toothache. Or appendicitis. Or...or...
Obviously a lot of people lived through those times so it was not as bad as made out.
There must of have been something special to plant roots in early Kentucky else they would not have flooded in.
I can tell not many people have read the INCREDIBLE hunting stories of the pre settlement Bluegrass state. Even the Indians traveled there for the spectacular hunting.
