Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone are both iconic figures in American westward expansion, but Daniel Boone is often recognized as the first significant westward traveler. Boone explored and helped settle areas in Kentucky during the late 1700s, notably through the Wilderness Road. Davy Crockett, known for his exploits in the early 19th century, became a symbol of the frontier spirit but followed Boone's earlier path in westward movement.
