The Adventures of Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone was the man whose life defined the image of the American frontier pioneer. An expert long hunter infected with wanderlust, he blazed a trail west opening up new lands to settlers. His story has been the subject of books, paintings, plays, movies, and television shows. It's been told and retold so often that fact and fiction have merged into legend. Who the real Daniel Boone was and why he became an American icon says as much about the man as it does the country he helped to create.
