Cherokee Peace Chief known as “The Little Carpenter”, played a key  role in the famous land transaction known as the “Transylvania Purchase”. He negotiated the “sale” of what is now western and central Kentucky to the Transylvania Company headed by Richard Henderson. This led to Daniel Boone coming to Kentucky to settle Boonesborough in 1775.
