[@tomservo5347]

During his later years, Daniel's arthritis became so bad that Rebecca would go out with him carrying his rifle (Tick Licker was his name for it.) While wounded in the foot he kept ahead of pursuing American Indians and made it to safety over many, many miles earlier in his life. I think his honesty was what got him into trouble with financiers as he was a man of his word and paid debts, no matter how old. Everyone that knew him said his most striking feature was piercing blue eyes, and while he wasn't an actual Quaker Christianity was always a big influence in his life. Hat's off to his wife Rebecca for enduring his long absences and him dragging their family around constantly. Daniel didn't like being crowded-he called it "elbow room" and he always wanted to see what lay beyond the next hill.

It is somewhat disputed that Daniel Boone has been quoted as saying, "There is nothing more dangerous than the good intentions of well-meaning people." If I remember correctly, it was during his political career when he opposed new taxes.

This is a wonderful history lesson. Sometimes I think people get so caught up in believing the myth that it holds them back in the future. Some people seem to want a hero - a knight in shining amour to charge in and "fix things". You know, like heroes did in history. However, truth is those heroes were human just like us and they made mistakes or had missteps - just like us. Heroes are the same today as they were back then - they stood up when it counted, did the best they could with what they had and when life knocked them down they got up again. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

"Panther cat" is a common name in Appalachia for the American Mountain Lion, or cougar. Mostly exterpated from the area now, they are still reported occasionally in remote areas of thier historical range. The story of the panther is not that far fetched.

[@grassroot011]

Far fetched to today's "eddycated," youth schooled in our gummint run schools. Denigrating all our heroes of the past even George Washington who went through hell and high water to help us gain the freedoms,, we used to have. Getting rather eroded up to now.

[@johnshilling2221]

Exactly! The narrator says panther, shows a picture of a jaguar, and then caption say the Jaguars don't exist in the USA? Young, dumb and full of --- "something" --- editors...

[@wasntmeXYZ]

Eli Bourne : I don’t recall anything in Faragher’s book about Daniel doing that, it is however somewhat plausible.

[@smokiemtn.tarheel6515]

A panther and a mountain lion are two different animals. And yes Panthers are black. And they do sound like a woman screaming. Makes chills run up and down your spine. And yes I have seen them. Saw one sunning on a hillside and another cross the road in front of my car. This one had a cub with it.

I enjoyed the presentation, thanks. As much, the comments below which I found of equal interest. The alleged quotes, or muses surrounding Boone are quite warming to read. In particular, I enjoyed the anecdote by the person, who along with his twin brother, 'roamed the same land' around Boone's birthplace. As a child, my parents drove us out to the homestead (we were from Philly) and I distinctly recall the terrain, the smell of the area, the fantasies of being able to do just what you and your twin brother did in reality. The hilly area where the house was set, (I actually took a pine cone home with me, and my mother housed it in a glass bowl that we always kept), was etched in my memory, and rekindled here with "Who Was the Real...", and sent straight home to me by the comments from 'bobkeay', that made my chair in the Home for Aged Adventurers a bit more comfortable. My hopes of a distinct jarring of that day's memory, was fulfilled. Many Thanks to All.

[@alanprather8399]

If I remember right from elementary school field trip there is a Squire Boone rock (now housed in the Richmond KY courthouse) that Squire carved on to communicate with Daniel on the cumberland gap trail when their party got seperated. Just thought it was interesting that's how they left messages then.

[@davestrasburg408]

Growing up in faraway Finland, as a proud American, Daniel Boone has always been a true hero of mine; l learned that he wore a "coonskin" cap from the song JOHNNY FREEDOM by Johnny Horton (1959), released long before l was born. The history and settlement of the "near West" has always been of interest to me; a great movie is MANY RIVERS TO CROSS (1955).

In case I get an urge to have a drink I want it there. I usually make my own wine now, but I'll make this year's batch this next month. Didn't make any last year and drank up that batch on Thanksgiving Day 2020.

Thank you for the true history of Daniel Boone. Apparently he is my 8th great-uncle, and I am related to many of the settlers of Kentucky. Who would have ever thought...

Considering the size of his family, I can sort of guess what one of the chief recreational activites of the frontier was...

[@Paladin1873]

My wife still has her American Heritage History of the United States, originally published in the early 1960s. It is a fantastic series and we used it to teach American history to our children. Several years ago I found a biography of Daniel Boone in an antique store. It is a 1949 print of a book copyrighted by the Boy Scouts of America in 1921 and 1922. It was written by Stewart Edward White and titled "Daniel Boone, Wilderness Scout". It follows closely the description you gave in your video.

[@iammrbeat]

Very cool!

[@SierraJuliet87]

Boone is my 8th great uncle on my grandfather's mother's side of the family. Her name was Beauel May Boone. We've heard lots of stories all of our lives, but this video definitely has some new information that I didn’t know. We're also related to King Henry the 8th (or 7th, I think) and fought in the Battle of Bannockburn (Braveheart) under the name de Bohun.

[@rosswebster7877]

Great and fascinating video as always! I’ll take the real Boone over the fantasy any day. I have an ancestor named David Chadwell, who’s life was quite similar to Boone’s. Born in England in 1732, settled in Virginia, exams a captain of the militia during the Revolutionary War, went west into Tennessee, founded Chadwell Station and died in 1832. Sorry to say he also owned 6 slaves(3 escaped after a dispute between Chadwell and the overseer) but such was the socio-economic landscape back then. To balance that out I haven’t have found a single Confederate ancestor.

[@odysseusrex5908]

Well, on the one hand, they were both well known frontiersmen, politicians, and pioneers in the early republic. On the other hand, as the video points out, they were both portrayed by Fess Parker wearing almost identical costumes of deer skins and a coonskin cap and acting almost identically.

[@swmovan]

Fess Parker portrayed both men in separate TV shows.

MR, BEAT, WHEN YOU MENTIONED ALL THE MODERN RELATIVES OF DANIEL BOONE YOU FORGOT ACTOR RICHARD BOONE FAMOUS FOR THE 50'S TV SHOW "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL".

[@raydavison4288]

Another great video, Mr. Beat. Thanks. A couple observations, in no particular order: Boone maybe didn't make it to the Rockies, but did get as far as the Platte river on his last "Long hunt" at age 82 (I have no citation for that). The first successful "settlement" in Ky. was Harrodsburg. Groups of longhunters under Henry Skaggs made several journeys to Kentucky in the 1750s & 1760s, eventually settling there. Hundreds of his descendants still live in Ky. Ol' Dan'l seemed to only come home long enough to knock up Rebecca & then headin' fer the hills as soon as the task was completed. Kentucky history is a tragic story. It was once a Heaven on earth & a refuge for the long suffering Scots-Irish, English, Welsh, & Germans who defied the British ban on colonies west of the mountains. But all the timber was cut, the game wiped out, & the mountains leveled. Now it is one of the poorest, most backward states in the Union. See John Prines song, "Paradise".

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Great video all around. Love that you mentioned Alphonso Boone's legacy. Also surprised to learn that he tried to fight even at the age of 77.

He would have been the only one to fight in both the French and Indian War and War of 1812 if I recall correctly. And yeah, shout out to Alphonso! Glad you dug the video. :)
