BECKLEY -
Logan County lays claim to one of America's most romantic legends, the story of Princess Aracoma and British soldier, Boling Baker.
"The Aracoma Story" will be on stage this summer at Chief Logan State Park. A short version of the production will be on stage at Tamarack in Beckley at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. July 14.
The story grew in Logan County around the authentic details of an incident in the history of the region more than 200 years ago.
Aracoma was the daughter of Shawnee Chief Cornstalk. According to legend, she met Baker after he was captured by fellow members of her tribe. The two fell in love, and Aracoma was able to save him from death. Following her father's death in Point Pleasant, Aracoma takes over as leader of her tribe, and she and Baker lead the Shawnee people into a lush hunting area in what is now West Virginia.
The story asserts that Aracoma and Baker moved into the Guyandotte River valley sometime close to the year 1760 and lived in peace on Midelburg island (today's city of Logan) until 1780. Aracoma eventually is killed in a battle and buried in what is now Logan County.
