James Robertson and Anthony Bledsoe had but recently availed themselves of the good offices of Governor Johnston of North Carolina in the effort to influence Gardoqui to quiet the Creek Indians.
The flat surrounding the lick, about one hundred acres in extent, discovered by Bledsoe, according to his own statement "was principally Covered with buffelows in every direction not hundreds but thousands." As he sat on his horse, he shot down two deer in the lick; but the buffaloes blindly trod them in the mud.
With unnatural strength he seized the gourd, and drained its contents. "Bless you, my boy!" he exclaimed faintly; then fell back on his pillow exhausted, and dropped immediately into a deep sleep. "He's gone!" exclaimed Bledsoe, as he saw the perspiration gathering upon his brow. "He will never wake from this stupor," and again the sorrowing family were summoned.
They had it up one side and down the other; Brother Japhe tryin' to tell Bledsoe that his piebald was about the no-accountest horse in the valley, and Jim takin' it all by contraries and gettin' more and more p'intedly anxious to trade." "Well?" said Tom, enjoying his return to nature like any creature freed of the urban cage.
I judged that he was afraid Jack Bledsoe would upbraid him or that Harry would give him a scolding; but, whatever his reasons, he disappeared when we went in the cabin, and we saw him no more till the next morning. Harry and Jack talked of old times until the woman was compelled to warn the wounded man that it would be worse for him if he excited himself.
Governor Samuel Johnston to James Robertson and Anthony Bledsoe, January 29, 1788. A strange sham-battle, staged like some scene from opera bouffe, in the bleak snow-storm of February, 1788, is really the prelude to a remarkable drama of revolt in which Sevier, Robertson, Bledsoe, and the Cumberland stalwarts play the leading roles.
Answer by Bledsoe: "If you mean by performing an autopsy that they probed into him or cut in to find the bullet I will answer no, sir, they did not. They did not seem to think to do so, because it seemed to everybody such a plain open-and-shut case that Dudley Stackpole had killed him." Question by the Reverend Mr.
Did you, I says, 'ever know a man named A. Hamilton Bledsoe? "He sort of winced. He got up and made as if to go into the house without answering me. I suppose it'd been so long since he had anybody calling on him he hardly knew how to act.
A hunter named Bledsoe; Collins, II., 418. Carr's "Early Times in Middle Tennessee," pp. 52, 54, 56, etc. The hunter Bledsoe mentioned in a previous note. As Haywood, 81. This continued to be the case until the buffalo were all destroyed.
On the day of the funeral we went directly from the cemetery to the house of a widow who owns a little fruit farm beyond the Park. Her name is Bledsoe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her house, small as it is, contains an endowed room always at Mr. Bentley's disposal. "Mrs. Garvin is there now. She was received as a friend, as a guest not as an inmate, a recipient of charity.
