Sheltowee: The Adoption of Boone This exciting wilderness adventure was inspired by true accounts of the near fatal adoption of Kentucky pioneer Daniel Boone by Chief Blackfish, War Chief of the Shawnee Indian Nation, on the periphery of the American Revolution. It follows the capture, adoption and escape of Boone and the siege of Fort Boonesborough by the Shawnee that came thereafter. During the severe Kentucky winter of 1777-78 frontier legend Daniel Boone was captured by a Shawnee war party who were on their way to annihilate the fort at Boonesborough under direction of their British allies. In order to protect the settlers and save the fort, Boone surrendered himself and 28 men to Chief Blackfish. Boone was considered perhaps the most prized trophy an Indian could attain at that time. Chief Blackfish was more interested in flaunting his prize before the British and the other Indian tribes of the region, so he offered Boone the opportunity of proving himself worthy to be a chief's son. In a series of grueling tests of manhood, Boone was pitted against the top braves of the tribe. After successfully passing the rites, Boone was adopted as the son of Chief Blackfish and given the Shawnee name of Sheltowee. This brought him to another near death situation. He had saved the men, escaped death by the British as well as the Indians, but was now considered a traitor by several of the pioneers. To fulfill his mission, Boone had to escape from the Indians, make his way through the wilderness with a war party hot on his trail; warn the fort, and prepare for a siege by 600 warring savages, who had been provided weapons and incentive by the conniving British Governor, "Hair-buyer" Hamilton. The story plays out at the historic siege on Fort Boonesborough.
