====== Revolutionary War in Boone County======
While the American Revolution did not primarily take place in [[Boone County]], several major battles occurred in Kentucky, and involved Kentuckians under General [[George Rogers Clark]] and others. 

Many Revolutionary veterans settled in Boone County and received land grants here. There was activity around the [[Big Bone Lick]], and along the [[Ohio River]]. It had a great influence on subsequent Boone County history.
