Paths That Led Boone To Kentucky Frontier
Elmo Scott Watson recounts the frontier origin of Daniel Boone influenced by John Finley and Archibald Pinley. From Pennsylvania to North Carolina and finally through the Cumberland Gap, Boone’s early journeys began in the mid 18th century, inspired by Finley’s tales and Braddock era memories. Boone’s May 1, 1765 ascent with Finley as guide marked his historic crossing into Kentucky and the land of “wild game.”
