Additional Description: During Lord Dunmore’s War, Shelby served as a Lieutenant under the command of his father, Evan Shelby. They engaged in a fierce battle with Indians at Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Kanawha river (an area that is now part of West Virginia) on October 10, 1774. Together the Shelby’s executed a desperate flanking move that forced the Indians to retreat and temporarily kept them from uniting with the British. The battle marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War on the Western Frontier.
