40 miles a day. 40 miles traversed in a 24 hour time period, by a man of his making? Most likely done, I am sure. It is only that modern men who have become weak and grown fragile by modern technology would think it is a tall tale. His life, and those of his fellow country men, were at stake in him getting there in time to save them from slaughter. I am sure Boone could make that trip with the determination he had for such a task. He was one of America's true heroes and a great country man.

The downtown area has changed very little in 70 years, just the constant traffic on the main highway that goes right by it, and the grounds..."once trampled on by Daniel Boone and his family. Sadly, I can never remember going to the (former) Boone grave sites.

An interesting sideline. When Daniel Boone was old and contemplating his death, he carved a casket from black oak. He stored the casket under his bed at the home in Missouri and, it is said, would occasionally lay in it to study the fit. At some point he gave away that casket for a man who died in a town without means...a generous act for certain. Of course, there was this matter of the uncertainty about eternal rest in cramped quarters. He proceeded to carve a new casket from cherry that was more to his liking for space and it rested under his bed until his death. He was indeed buried in that hand carved casket...the one that he supposed fitted him better than the first attempt.

Daniel Boone was a tough customer. So much so that at the age of 75 years old, he hiked several hundred miles over rough terrain to visit Congress, in Hope's that he may be somewhat rewarded for the territory he discoved, and for the contribution he made to settlers on the frontier at the the time. Christopher Columbus may have "discovered" America, but Danial Boone, in my opinion, is the man that helped to really help pave the way for what she would eventually become. What is sad is what America has become. I believe if Boone were alive today, and had seen all the changes America has gone through since the time he was trekking through the mountains, I believe he would say we have destroyed the it. That and being a Christian man, he would be appalled that we as Americans celebrate things like homosexuality/transgenderism, and would be utterly horrified that we have people who want to teach it in school, as part of the curriculum, to children as young as 6yrs old. (Obviously he was very old schooled, raised in an entirely different time period, so you would have to expect him to have such views.) I think he would also be sad and disheartened that we have people in office that are more interested in their own personal gain, than trying to do right by the people that elected them. I think he would be very impressed by all the modern convieneces we have, but would also see them as making people softer and weaker, and would be repulsed by the attitude of young people, not just with their contempt for authority; regarding their parents and the law in general, but also their entitled attitude and lack of strong work ethic. Back in his day, men worked hard for everything they had, and unfortunately would work themselves to death as a result. But that's what made them the men that they were - hard work, and hardship.

SadiemaeFriedman5564 you're confusing Boone with Davey Crockett,they came from different parts of the country Boone was born in Pennsylvania, but after his family was kicked out of the Quaker meeting, they moved to the Yadkin Valley of The Carolinas, before Daniel moved his family to Kentucky. Whereas Crockett, was born in Tennessee served under Andrew Jackson in the Creek Indian War, before serving as a Congressman, when the Indian removal act came before Congress, he quit in disgust, saying you can all go to h***, I'm going, to Texas! That led to his eventual demise at the Alamo.

Seems Daniel's family was "spurred on" to new lands by religious persecution (marrying outside) as much as anything else. My own family took to a "religion" that made it hard to focus on Jesus. "Jesus + anything else ain't Jesus" is my favorite quote on the subject...

I wonder how a bill about breeding horses could be worded? Was it eugenics against inferior horses? Or tax breaks for letting your fastest horse mate with neighbors mares? I'd love to know how it was enforced also. Slow horse genocide? The horror, the horror

According to what I was told by the late Mr Frank Boone a descendant of Daniels brother Squire, who was born and raised in Booneville Mo that when the commission of Kentucky Historians was sent to Missouri to disinter Daniel, and Rebecca they were led to the graves, of two of the Boone families deceased slaves, whose bodies were removed and taken to Frankfort, where they were reinterred in the monument that stands today, and Daniel, and Rebecca, remain in their original resting places, protected by other descendants..

REALLY..HOW INTERESTING! I would not think under any circumstances their descendants would allow their bodies to be moved..."would you?"

As I understand it, the young slave boy that was Daniel's closest human contact (he was deaf, and the boy knew Native American sign language and served as a translator for Daniel) remained on the farm on Femme Osage Creek, St. Charles MO. It was him who directed the Kentucky representatives that came to disinter the bodies after winning a court judgement. He directed the men to the graves, but pointed out the graves of a male and female slave buried in the same plot alongside Daniel and Rebecca. It is said that he laughed loudly every time the told the story that Kentucky 'honored' those two Black people without knowing it.

I hope that's true. Removing someone from their chosen resting place is pretty horrible to me. I had a history teacher that I adored in high school. He was also a farmer. He had an old family cemetery on his property. He wanted to move it so he could use the area for row crops. The state of KY told him (his word) that he only had to remove the headstones and six inches of top soil to do so. Which he did. I lost almost all respect for him on that day. It broke my heart, and made me angry. He, being a history teacher, should know better...... Just to plant beans and corn.
