The stories of Daniel Boone are as numerous and varied as his real-life adventures.
His life inspired the creative works of many colorful storytellers and they seldom let facts get in the way.
His poetic acknowledgement of nature’s personality was expressed when in his own words he wrote,
“Many dark and sleepless nights have I been a companion of owls, separated from the cheerful society of men, scorched by the summer’s sun and pinched by the winter’s cold…”
I join the ranks of many who have long been intrigued with the popular commercial stories of our great Daniel Boone. The movies, a TV series and all sorts of frontier books celebrate his seemingly indestructible life.
Truth be told, by today’s standards the actual events of Boones life were so fantastic that most people could not bring themselves to believe it.
The story of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca is filled with adventure, discovery, heartache, success, and failure but most importantly old age. They did it all and they lived to talk about it.
