Daniel Boone
Daniel Boone, one of the nation's most famous frontiersmen, was born and raised in Pennsylvania, on November 2, 1734. Little is known of Daniel's Pennsylvania years, though he did return to visit his boyhood home in 1781 and again in 1788. Of course, as a young man he began the adventures he is known for, opening new regions of Kentucky for settlement. He established Boone’s borough, Kentucky in 1775. His father, Squire Boone, an English Quaker and prominent Pennsylvanian businessman, migrated south in 1750 after selling the homestead to William Maugridge, a relative of the Boones’. Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 in a log cabin. The Boone families were Quakers who had a Blacksmith shop, a small farm, and a weaving business. Daniel did his part to help by working on the farm. His father eventually bought a larger piece of land, and Daniel went to live there and tend the cows. This is where he learned to be a great woodsman. The Indians nearby taught him all about being a good woodsman and a hunter. Daniel learned so well that these traits helped him fight other Indians. At age 12 he started shooting with a gun that his father had given him.
