A historical account of the last raid of Chickamauga War Chief Bob Benge, the greatest warrior of Cherokee War Chief Draggin Canoe. Chief Draggin Canoe was angered by the sale of Cherokee lands, and his people being forced from their homeland and hunting grounds by the white settlers. He formed an alliance of young Cherokee, Shawnee, Delaware, and other Native Americans that were called the Chickamaugas or Lower Cherokee by the colonials to wage war upon the white settlers.
After raiding the Livingston home on April 6, 1794 near present day Mendota (Cherokee word meaning "bend in the River") Chickamauga War Chief Bob Benge and his warriors marched their captives across the Clinch Mountain through Fugates Gap. This was to avoid detection by the easier passage through the Big Moccasin Gap where early settlers were present in the general area. By here passed the Great Warriors Path, which continued West along what was to be known as the Wilderness Road to Kentucky. To the North of the Gap passed the Path to the Shawnee Towns in Ohio near Fort Blackmore at the head waters of Big Stoney Creek on the Clinch River. The forced march with their captives across extreamly rough terrain was about the distance of 8 miles to Copper Creek at the mouth of Obey's Creek. Near here they made camp before continuing on the next day along Obeys Creek to where they crossed the Clinch River at McLeans Fish Dam to the head waters of Big Stoney Creek and up the Straight Fork Creek to the Camp Rock on the High Knob near the Big Stone Gap in the Cumberland Mountains at the base of Powell's Mountain.
