Boonesborough

Tuesday, July 12
Fort Boonesborough was founded by Daniel Boone. He helped to build the fort. A village was inside the walls. The blacksmith was making S hooks today. They are used to adjust the height of pots over a fire. Another person was making soap bars. She told us how she does it. It takes at least 20 days to make a batch of soap. In another shop, a lady was weaving fabric. She said it takes four hours to make one yard. Think of how hard life must have been for the people in that village. I'm glad I don't live back then.
