Scouting with Daniel Boone by Everett Tomlinson [with chapter navigation]

Daniel Boone - American pioneer, explorer, and frontiersman whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the United States.
Despite some resistance from American Indian tribes such as the Shawnee, in 1775 Boone blazed his Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains from North Carolina and Tennessee into Kentucky. There he founded the village of Boonesborough, Kentucky, one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachians.
