Pennsylvania-born Daniel Boone was perhaps America’s best-known and celebrated frontiersman when the frontier was west of the Appalachian Mountains.
Boone made his name as a hunter and trapper early in his life but eventually led white Americans into the wilds of present-day Kentucky.
A new book — Blood and Treasure Daniel Boone and the Fight for America’s First Frontier – chronicles Boone’s adventures and his numerous battles with Native Americans.
Best-selling authors Bob Drury and Tom Clavine wrote the book. Drury joins us on Smart Talk.
