In 1767, he found harsh winter conditions, so bad that he had to return to North Carolina. In 1769 the found the Warriors Path through the Cumberland Gap (a Shawnee and Cherokee war-and-hunting trail). This time he found fertile land rich with game. However, within two years, he found Shawnee Indians, or the Indians found him, and he was warned out of the land.
At one point, he did consider moving to Florida, but his wife, Rebecca, refused. Kentucky was closer to his home in North Carolina, and it would more easlly attract people to move to Kentucky once he blazed the Wilderness Trail from the Cumberland Gap to Boonesborough. The land provided for good hunting, plentiful clean water, trees to build log cabins, and natural salt licks, resources that were in increasingly short supply in the coastal colonies/states.
it was scary for him
by opening the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains from North Carolina and Tennessee into Kentucky. Daniel Boone also founded Boonseborough, Kentucky, one of the first settlements west of the Appalachians. He helped many settlers immigrate into new territory.
well someone had too and it wasnt going to be me thats for sure
yes he did
many people liked him many did not
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. He did a few other things. He spoke out for liberty against the tyranny of England when he served in the Legislatures of North Carolina and Virginia. He fought in the Revolutionary War and provided much of the ammunition used in the great American victory in the Battle of Kings Mountain. He overextended himself in Kentucky and went bankrupt. He fled to St. Louis, which was under Spanish rule. The Spanish Governor gave him a large land grant in Missouri where he lived the rest of his life.

Daniel Boone. Im related to him trust me. -------------- Hmmm.... i thought Daniel Boone explored more of the MidWest than the West...More like Kentucky. Jedediah Smith was a famous Western explorer. as was Lewis and Clark. Kit Carson also comes to mind.
many people liked him many did not

Daniel Boone Song's Lyrics Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! With an eye like an eagle And as tall as a mountain was he! Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! He was brave, he was fearless And as tough as a mighty oak tree! From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan To the heel of his rawhide shoe; The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man The frontier ever knew! Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! And he fought for America To make all Americans free! What a Boone, what a do-er, What a dream come-er true-er was he!
