Today, Boone is one of the most misunderstood figures in American history. This is mostly due to how he was portrayed later in books in the 19th century, and in numerous comic strips, radio shows, and films in the 20th century. Then of course, there was this TV show about him that was popular in the 1960s. The actor in that show, Fess Parker, basically acted like the same way he did in a previous role, playing Davy Crockett. Needless to say, the show was not historically accurate AT ALL.
Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 in what became Berks County, Pennsylvania, today an hour’s drive from Philadelphia. His parents, Squire and Sarah Boone, were Quakers who escaped persecution for their religious beliefs back in England. Daniel was a middle child, sixth of eleven children. The family lived just down the road from future President Abraham Lincoln’s ancestors. In fact, Abraham Lincoln’s great-grandfather, also named Abraham Lincoln, married Daniel’s cousin Ann.
As a kid, Daniel spent most of his time at the edge of the frontier, often taking his family’s cattle out to graze. He loved wandering in the woods with those cows. He regularly interacted with the nearby Lenape Indians, who the Quakers as a whole had a good relationship with. Daniel actually learned how to hunt from the Lenape, in addition to other local settlers. He got his first rifle at the age of 12, and by 13 he was regularly providing meat for family meals. One time a panther leapt right at him and he calmly cocked his rifled and shot him through the heart. Yeah, that probably didn’t really happen, but the fact that that story got around is evidence Daniel had quite the reputation as a skilled hunter.
Daniel never attended school, but family members did teach him how to read and write. Later, his go-to books were The Bible and Gulliver’s Travels. In 1750, Squire Boone moved the family to North Carolina, settling in the Yadkin River valley, near what is now Davie County. This was again an area at the edge of the frontier. Daniel joined the local militia to help defend the settlements from various local American Indian tribes.
When North Carolina governor Matthew Rowan called for a militia during the French and Indian War, Boone, now 20 years old, volunteered. He served under General Edward Braddock as he led forces to attack at Fort Duquesne, a French military post located at present-day Pittsburgh. George Washington, future President but at the time a young colonial militia leader, was also on that march. Boone worked as a wagoner, meaning he was one of the dudes who drove the horse-drawn wagons. On the trip, Boone met and befriended a trader named John Findley. Findley had lots of experience trading with different groups of American Indians and had traveled quite a bit.

Panther was one of the names used interchangeably with Painter, Cougar, Wildcat and Mountain Lion.

They are now making a significant come back up and down the East Coast.

@@dianethulin1700 They are all in fact the very same cat. They adapt to their environments very well. So cougars/mountain lions/wildcats have a coat that blend better with the mountains and is more insulated for colder climates where the Panther's black coat hides him better in the swamps of the Southeast U.S. and is less insulated because of the heat of this area. But they are all the same cat. They can readily breed with one another and produce non-sterile offspring, that is, they are capable of making kittens as well.

It is somewhat disputed that Daniel Boone has been quoted as saying, "There is nothing more dangerous than the good intentions of well-meaning people." If I remember correctly, it was during his political career when he opposed new taxes. He insisted that just because most of the people thought it was A-okay, it was still theft to take another's money or property. Government-sanctioned theft, in his eyes, is still theft... Truth or myth, this is a story that I really like!

During his later years, Daniel's arthritis became so bad that Rebecca would go out with him carrying his rifle (Tick Licker was his name for it.) While wounded in the foot he kept ahead of pursuing American Indians and made it to safety over many, many miles earlier in his life. I think his honesty was what got him into trouble with financiers as he was a man of his word and paid debts, no matter how old. Everyone that knew him said his most striking feature was piercing blue eyes, and while he wasn't an actual Quaker Christianity was always a big influence in his life. Hat's off to his wife Rebecca for enduring his long absences and him dragging their family around constantly. Daniel didn't like being crowded-he called it "elbow room" and he always wanted to see what lay beyond the next hill.

This is a wonderful history lesson. Sometimes I think people get so caught up in believing the myth that it holds them back in the future. Some people seem to want a hero - a knight in shining amour to charge in and "fix things". You know, like heroes did in history. However, truth is those heroes were human just like us and they made mistakes or had missteps - just like us. Heroes are the same today as they were back then - they stood up when it counted, did the best they could with what they had and when life knocked them down they got up again. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

@odysseusrex5908 4 года назад

Very good video. When I was in fourth grade, one of my favorite books was about Daniel Boone. For what it's worth, many of the details you mention here were in that book. I remember that when he got back from the two year long hunting trip, his wife presented him with a baby only a few months old. Even I could do the math on that one. I was surprised they included that detail in an elementary school library book. The book gave a tremendously exciting account of the siege of Boonesborough. Boone has been one of my heroes ever since.

Another great video, Mr. Beat. Thanks. A couple observations, in no particular order: Boone maybe didn't make it to the Rockies, but did get as far as the Platte river on his last "Long hunt" at age 82 (I have no citation for that). The first successful "settlement" in Ky. was Harrodsburg. Groups of longhunters under Henry Skaggs made several journeys to Kentucky in the 1750s & 1760s, eventually settling there. Hundreds of his descendants still live in Ky. Ol' Dan'l seemed to only come home long enough to knock up Rebecca & then headin' fer the hills as soon as the task was completed. Kentucky history is a tragic story. It was once a Heaven on earth & a refuge for the long suffering Scots-Irish, English, Welsh, & Germans who defied the British ban on colonies west of the mountains. But all the timber was cut, the game wiped out, & the mountains leveled. Now it is one of the poorest, most backward states in the Union. See John Prines song, "Paradise".

If I remember right from elementary school field trip there is a Squire Boone rock (now housed in the Richmond KY courthouse) that Squire carved on to communicate with Daniel on the cumberland gap trail when their party got seperated. Just thought it was interesting that's how they left messages then.

Our family lore was that the Squire Boone's kids "married out" and that caused trouble with the Society. The oldest girl is part of my family line. When the second one married out the Society was not happy with the family and eventually they moved away. They philosophy of being fair and respectful, I think stayed with Daniel Boone throughout his life. So..not a fail.

When I was in elementary school, my school library had a terrific book about daniel Boone, which included a gripping account of the siege of Boonesborough. I became a big Daniel Boone fan after reading that book, again, and again, and again. I never could appreciate the TV show, because it was too different from the book. Later on, as an adult, I liked it better. Anyway, I wish you had gone into more detail about the siege. Other than that, very good video.

@davestrasburg408 Год назад

Growing up in faraway Finland, as a proud American, Daniel Boone has always been a true hero of mine; l learned that he wore a "coonskin" cap from the song JOHNNY FREEDOM by Johnny Horton (1959), released long before l was born. The history and settlement of the "near West" has always been of interest to me; a great movie is MANY RIVERS TO CROSS (1955).

My wife still has her American Heritage History of the United States, originally published in the early 1960s. It is a fantastic series and we used it to teach American history to our children. Several years ago I found a biography of Daniel Boone in an antique store. It is a 1949 print of a book copyrighted by the Boy Scouts of America in 1921 and 1922. It was written by Stewart Edward White and titled "Daniel Boone, Wilderness Scout". It follows closely the description you gave in your video.

Great informative video! I developed an interest in Daniel Boone when I was a kid due to the fact that I share the same first name as the historic figure. (I'll bet you didn't know that his full name was actually "Sky Daniel Boone." lol, j/k of course.) -A short anecdote from my childhood that features this name association: during my 3rd grade school year, my class was instructed to split into small groups for an in-class assignment. I ended up in a group with two other boys, and when asked (at some point) who was in our group, a boy in our group named David quickly responded, "Davey Crocket, Daniel Boone, and Paul Bunyan." in reference to our first names (the third boy's name obviously being "Paul,") and their American history connections.
