My research has indicated that Daniel placed Israel's body in a cave by the river to prevent its desecration and that he returned later to retrieve it for burial. The article narrates instead that Daniel just hopped on a horse and fled, leaving the body where it lay.
Does anyone care to explain what their views are on these two positions? I would like the placing in the cave to be inserted in the sentence between Israel's death and Daniel's retreat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olorin3k (talk • contribs) 22:00, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It transpires that the present version of the article largely plagiarizes John M. Trowbridge, "‘We Are All Slaughtered Men’: The Battle of Blue Licks." Kentucky Ancestors: Genealogical Quarterly of the Kentucky Historical Society (2006): 58-73.
This article was first added to Wikipedia in 2004, but with the revision of 5:04, 21 August 2006, the text of Trowbridge's article was more or less copied over the previous version. It concerning that nowhere is the dependence on Trowbridge acknowledged (even!), nor does his article appear in the current bibliography.
Clearly this is a large-scale issue, and beyond my competence to repair. The situation does need to be remedied, however.
Per comments on the ANI thread, it appears the reverse is the case - the other source seems to have ripped off the Wikipedia article. Per https://history.ky.gov/for-genealogists/digitized-kentucky-ancestors/ , the "Winter" issue was at the end of 2006 (December?), not the beginning, so the author just ripped off Wikipedia instead. (Or the faint possibility that Trowbridge & the Wikipedia editor who expanded this article are the same person, of course, in which case it's legit after all!).

Indeed, it appears to be the case that the direction of travel was opposite to what I supposed. I've apologized to @Kevin1776 on his talk page. As it stands, my initial headline remains the case! Alas, my account that follows is problematic. I assume it should not, however, be edited to reflect the actual situation, but that this comment trail sets the record straight. (I'm ready to be corrected on that surmise, too!) DjR (talk) 14:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
