Kentucky Board of War.
In 1791 Congress appointed Charles Scott, John Brown, Harry Innes, Benjamin Logan, and Isaac Shelby to a board empowered to call out the militia into the service of the U.S. whenever necessary to fight the Indians, and to act in conjunction with the regular army.
Commonly termed the Kentucky Board of War, this body was also known as the Local War Board for the Western Country and the Local Board of War for the District of Kentucky.
