Did Daneil Boone discover cumberland gap?

Daniel Boone did not "discover" the Cumberland Gap, as the area had been known and used by Native American tribes long before his arrival. However, he is credited with popularizing the gap in the late 18th century when he led settlers through it, making it a key passageway for westward expansion. Boone's exploration helped establish the gap as an important route for pioneers moving into Kentucky and beyond.
