 The exciting life of Daniel Boone is commemorated in at least 85 sites spread across 11 states from Pennsylvania to Missouri and from Michigan to Florida. The sites include markers, monuments, plaques, historic homes, replica forts, gravestones, museums, wayside displays, and more. The book, In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone tells Boone’s life story by taking readers to all those sites and putting his life on the landscape. The companion DVD, On the Trail of Daniel Boone, complements that telling by showing the viewers what they would see if they took the trip. It saves them the time and expense of driving by using 800 color images and over 80 minutes of narration and music to share the  experience. The DVD includes bonus features as well about Braddock’s Defeat and shows reenactors portraying life on the 18thcentury frontier.
