通 敵 ？
daniel boone, a noted american pioneer who founded the town of boonesborough in 1775, was a militia officer during the american revolutionary war. in february 1778, he was captured by a band of british-allied shawnee indians, but when he learned in june that the indians were planning an attack on boonesborough, he escaped and raced home, covering 160 miles in five days on horseback and, after his horse gave out, on foot. the settlement, reinforced and provisioned in preparation for the assault, withstood a ten-day siege. boone took part in the defence.
however, after the siege, boone was charged with treason since he had apparently lived quite happily among the shawnees for months. he was court-martialled, but found not guilty. despite this vindication, boone felt humiliated, and moved away from boonesborough a year later.
