Best Answer

Daniel Boone crossed the Appalachian Mountains through forest that had possibly never been trodden by people. On June 7, 1769, he came to the summit of a ridge and saw for the first time what is now Kentucky. The trail he blazed became known as Wilderness Road and became one of the most-used roads by those who were traveling west.
