The following comment was added to the article. I moved it here

If you read The Frontiersman it will tell you that Simon Kenton didn't steal the cannon but that he and his partner tipped over the canoe carrying the cannon across the Ohio River on Birds march out of the Kentucky lands, next time read the book before commenting on it being legit or not.

[edit] Eckert

It it wasn't for Eckert hardly anyone would know of this history, but everyobody likes to take their jabs at him because a few facts might be jumbled. There's bound to be some discrepancies in a work like the Frontiersmen, but to focus on them strikes me as petty.
