Relive America's exciting history during its frontier days. Follow in the footsteps of America's pioneer hero,
Daniel Boone.
 Market hunter, frontier guide, wilderness scout, master woodsman, expert marksman, Indian fighter, militia leader, surveyor, land speculator, judge, sheriff, coroner, elected legislator, merchant, tavern keeper, prisoner of war, Spanish syndic, husband, father--Daniel Boone led one of the fullest and most eventful lives in American history.
 Encompassing 85 sites stretched across 11 states, In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone takes readers to the places where Boone lived, hunted, fought, and dreamed of the next frontier.
You'll find the sites where two of Boone's sons were killed by Indians, where he rescued his kidnapped daughter from Shawnee captors, where his brother was slain by Indians who mistook him for Boone, where he tricked a British governor, and where he was court-martialed on charges of treason.
 In David, KY, you'll visit the hollow where Daniel Boone saw his first buffalo.
At Fort Boonesborough State Park (near Lexington, KY), you'll learn how this courage and cunning defeated a Shawnee siege.
 At Cumberland Gap (at the KY-VA-TN line), you'll walk Boone's Trace and Wilderness Trail, by which a quarter-million settlers entered Kentucky.
 And in Pennsylvania and Missouri, you'll see the homes where he was born into and departed this world--a thousand miles, 86 years, and a legendary life apart. 
Explore Boone's America from Pennsylvania to Missouri
and from Michigan to Florida.
In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone takes the reader to 85 sites spread across 11 states where markers, monuments, plaques, historic homes, replica forts, and more commemorate episodes and adventures from the life of America's pioneer hero. It knits these stories together into a full biography covering the full sweep of Boone's adventerous and remarkable life from 1734 to 1820.
