Inscription on a tree
Until lately an inscription was clearly legible carved in its bark. It read:
D. Boone
Cilled A Bar
On Tree
In Year 1760
In the above paragragh, I guess D. Boone is a name.
But I wonder what Cilled A Bar means. Is it another name?
Any comments will be appreciated.

"bear" was pronounced with an accent - it rhymed with "car" ( I remember from the ballad of Davy Crockett)
