Question # 1
America’s pioneer hero was born in 1734 in Pennsylvania. Which of the following is a true story from his childhood?

A. As a trick, a young Daniel and his friend Henry Miller loaded a neighbor’s rifle with too much powder. When the neighbor fired it, the power exploded, bloodying the neighbor's face and knocking him to the ground. The two pranksters feared they had killed him.

B. As young teens returning from a dance they had been forbidden to attend, Daniel and Henry, riding double on a horse, tried to leap over a cow in the road. The cow rose up; the horse took a spill and broke its neck. Daniel removed the bridle and put it in the barn. In the morning he professed to know nothing about the family’s dead horse lying in the road.

C. From the age of 10, Daniel tended his father’s cows each summer in a pasture six miles from home. During those months, he developed his skills at tracking small game. Before receiving his first firearm, an inaccurate trade gun, at age 12, Daniel hunted the animals with what he called a “spear club.”
