Why this happened
The white settlers killed chief Logan family, because John Logan killed the white man. This happened because Logan did not like that the man was saying that he was a white man. Logan's family passed away, because he killed the white man and he wanted him to suffer. Daniel Boone and his group cut a pathway so it was easier to travel. one other reason that they did that is, because they also wanted to be able to travel again. March of 1775 was one of the most historically and significant months in the history of Virginia indeed, in the history. Most students of American history probably remember it as the month when Patrick Henry delivered his rallying “Liberty or Death” speech in St. John’s Church, Richmond on March 23. But only a few days before that speech was delivered, out on the frontier in and around the southwestern mountains of Virginia, another chapter in the fight for Independence was unfolding. The reason the settlers killed Logan's family is because a man named John Petty who was being basically drunk, and was saying he was a white man and chief Logan did not like it so he shot him as he was in the doorway. After that another white man shot them all including a two month baby, But not Chief Logan. Chief Logan and his group cleared a path so that it was easier to walk also so that they could walk down the Cumberland Gap.
If Indians had to they would they would travel by canoe. The canoes were decorated with the family colors. A favorite design that was used most of the time was the diamond shape. Indians sometimes also traveled by foot, on animal trails. There were trails made by animals through the Everglades.
In 1775, the now-legendary frontiersman Daniel Boone blazed a trail through the Cumberland Gap–a notch in the Appalachian Mountains located near the intersection of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee–through the interior of Kentucky and to the Ohio River. Known as the Wilderness Road, the trail would serve as the pathway to the western United States for some 300,000 settlers over the next 35 years. Boone’s pioneering path led to the establishment of the first settlements in Kentucky–including Boone's buro–and to Kentucky’s admission to the Union as the 15th state in 1792.
