Daniel Boone hunted in Kentucky and figured out the best places to put farms villages and cities. He encouraged people to move to Kentucky and built the road through the Southern Appalachian Mountains called Wilderness Road. It allowed people to cross the mountains and move to farms and houses in Kentucky and Tennessee. It opened up that part of the United States to settlement by Pioneers. It was the only way south of the southern border of Pennsylvania and the Port of Mobile to cross the Appalachian Mountains. Abraham Lincoln's father used that road when he went from Indiana to Asheville, North Carolina to help build the hotel that Thomas Wolf described in his novel, You Can't Go Home Again.
