Book excerpt: DANIEL BOONE was the ideal of the American pioneer—brave, cool, self-reliant, a dead shot with his rifle, a consummate master of woodcraft, with sturdy frame, hopeful at all times, and never discouraged by disasters which caused many a weaker spirit to faint by the way. All that the pen of romance depicts in the life of one whose lot is cast in the Western forests, marked the career of Boone. In the lonely solitudes he encountered the wild animal and the fiercer wild man; and he stood on the bastions at Boonesborough through the flaming sun or the solemn hours of night, exchanging shots with the treacherous Shawanoe, when every bullet fired was meant to extinguish a human life; he was captured by Indians three times, his companions were shot down at his side, his daughter was carried away by savages and quickly rescued by himself and a few intrepid comrades, his oldest boy was shot dead before he set foot in Kentucky, and another was killed while bravely fighting at Blue Licks; the border town named after him was assaulted and besieged by overwhelming bodies of British and Indians, his brother was slain and he himself underwent all manner of hardship and suffering. Yet through it all, he preserved his honest simplicity, his unswerving integrity, his prudence and self-possession, and his unfaltering faith in himself, in the future of his country, and in God. He lived through this crucial period to see all his dreams realized, and Kentucky one of the brightest stars in the grand constellation of the Union. Such a life cannot be studied too closely by American youth; and in the following pages, we have endeavored to give an accurate description of its opening, its eventful progress and its peaceful close, when, in the fullness of time and in a ripe old age, he was finally laid to rest, honored and revered by the great nation whose possessions stretch from ocean to ocean, and whose "land is the fairest that ever sun shone on!"

Book excerpt: THE saga of the pioneers that settled the great West is one of the most compelling and romantic chapters in the history of the United States of America. The first three settlements beyond the Alleghany Mountains were made in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio. From these vantage points, the population gradually expanded clear to the West Coast. One of the first to explore this vast wilderness was Daniel Boone. He was born on February 11th 1735, in Exeter Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Always the rambler, Boone left his home about six years before the American Revolution. With very few companions, his journeys lead him to the country south of the Ohio River. Here, on the banks, he looked abroad over a landscape of streams, forests and hills. This virtually unknown wilderness was home to many tribes of Native Americans; that often despised his presence. But for this Boone was well prepared. He had over time become versed in many Indian customs and was well regarded as a mighty hunter. His cap was made of fur and wore buckskin clothing same as the Native American. Confidently armed with his trusty hunting knife and rifle, he was prepared for any confrontations. Boone made many daring adventures and hair-raising escapes among Native Americans captivity. He was several times captured, but always got away. His companions were not so lucky, for three of them were killed and one reportedly eaten by wolves. During a short period of peace, Boone and his brother built themselves a cabin of lodge poles and bark and stayed the winter hunting, fishing and surveying the broad country. In 1775, Boone returned to North Carolina for ammunition and supplies. He found his family well and happy but was determined to take them to his newly discovered utopia. At first, the Natives were fond of Boone when he was captured, as his hunting skills provided much needed game for food. However, on his last hunt for the Indians he returned to find 500 warriors dressed in war-paint and headed for Boonesborough. He quickly made his escape, and rejoined his family, after traveling 160 miles in four days on one meal. After his escape, the Natives made the settlements suffer greatly, they were cruel and hostile. Much mischief, and dreadful deeds were done in the early times. The true meaning of the name Kentucky means the dark and bloody ground, as it was indeed in the times of Boone.
