Led by one James Knox. His real name was Kasper Mansker, as his signature shows, but he was always spoken of as Mansco. Sometimes the term Long Hunters was used as including Boon, Finley, and their companions, sometimes not; in the McAfee MSS. it is explicitly used in the former sense.

Nation was let out of jail on the bond signed by Rev. J. B. McAfee, an esteemed member of my congregation here. Her bond now is a bond to keep the peace, and her smashing is at an end. The times were ripe for just such a movement.

Five Indians, lying in ambush, fired at, but missed him; he flies to a tree for safety, and instantly received a fire from three or four Indians on the other side the bullets knock the dust about his feet, but do him no injury; he abandons the tree and makes good his retreat to the fort.
