Oriskany and Blue Licks Battles Remembered in 1777 and 1782
The article recalls Oriskany on August 6, 1777 in the Mohawk valley with forces led by Sir John Johnson and Brant clashing with American and militia units, and Boone’s Station and Blue Licks in 1782 where Kentuckians led by Daniel Boone faced a mixed force of British, Indians, and renegades. It notes leadership folly, casualties, and the enduring impact on frontier history as part of sesquicentennial commemorations and memory of the Revolution.
