Border Heroine

Frontier narratives record many hostilities between settlers and Native Americans. One account states Mrs. Bozarth, in a hand-to-hand fight, armed with axe only, killed three men during a 1779 attack on her cabin at the Dunkard Creek settlement.

Marker is at the intersection of Mason-Dixon Highway (West Virginia Route 7) and Buckeye Road (County Route 39) on Mason-Dixon Highway.
