DescriptionCaudy's Castle Historical Marker Forks of Cacapon WV 2013 11 30 01.jpg |
English: A West Virginia state highway historical marker commemorating an event involving American frontiersman James Caudy in which Caudy defended himself against Native American fighters atop the Caudy's Castle rock formation overlooking the Cacapon River in Hampshire County, West Virginia. The marker reads: "Named for James Caudy, pioneer and Indian fighter, who took refuge from the Indians on a mass of rocks overlooking Cacapon River during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). From his position on the Castle of Rocks, he defended himself by pushing the Indians, one by one with the butt of his rifle, over the precipice as they came single file along the narrow crevice of rocks. They fell 450-500 feet to the base along the edge of the Cacapon." The highway historical marker is located along West Virginia Route 127 approximately 1.5 miles east of West Virginia Route 29 near Forks of Cacapon, West Virginia. |
