Boone</b> (November 2 [<a href="/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates" title="Old Style and New Style dates">O.S.</a> October 22], 1734 – September 26, 1820) was an American pioneer and frontiersman whose exploits made him one of the first <a href="/wiki/Folk_hero" title="Folk hero">folk heroes</a> of the United States. He became famous for his exploration and settlement of <a href="/wiki/History_of_Kentucky" title="History of Kentucky">Kentucky</a>, which was then <a href="/wiki/Royal_Proclamation_of_1763" title="Royal Proclamation of 1763">beyond the western borders</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Thirteen_Colonies" title="Thirteen Colonies">Thirteen Colonies</a>. In 1775, Boone founded the <a href="/wiki/Wilderness_Road" title="Wilderness Road">Wilderness Road</a> through the <a href="/wiki/Cumberland_Gap" title="Cumberland Gap">Cumberland Gap</a> and into Kentucky, in the face of resistance from <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a>. He founded <a href="/wiki/Boonesborough,_Kentucky" title="Boonesborough, Kentucky">Boonesborough</a>, one of the first English-speaking settlements west of the <a href="/wiki/Appalachian_Mountains" title="Appalachian Mountains">Appalachian Mountains</a>. By the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people had entered Kentucky by following the route marked by Boone.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFaragher1992351_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFaragher1992351-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He served as a militia officer during the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">Revolutionary War</a> (1775–1783), which in Kentucky was fought primarily between American settlers and British-allied Indians. Boone was taken in by <a href="/wiki/Shawnee" title="Shawnee">Shawnees</a> in 1778 and adopted into the tribe, but he resigned and continued to help protect the Kentucky settlements. He also left due to the Shawnee Indians torturing and killing one of his sons. He was elected to the first of his three terms in the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_General_Assembly" title="Virginia General Assembly">Virginia General Assembly</a> during the war and fought in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Blue_Licks" title="Battle of Blue Licks">Battle of Blue Licks</a> in 1782, one of the last battles of the American Revolution. He worked as a <a href="/wiki/Surveying" title="Surveying">surveyor</a> and merchant after the war, but went deep into debt as a Kentucky land speculator. He resettled in <a href="/wiki/Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a> in 1799, where he spent most of the last two decades of his life, frustrated with legal problems resulting from his land claims. </p><p>Boone remains an iconic, if imperfectly remembered, figure in American history. He was a legend in his own lifetime, especially after an <a href="/wiki/The_Discovery,_Settlement_and_Present_State_of_Kentucke" title="The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke">account of his adventures</a> was published in 1784, making him famous in America and Europe. After his death, he became the subject of many heroic tall tales and works of fiction. His adventures—real and legendary—helped create the archetypal frontier hero of American folklore. In American popular culture, Boone is remembered as one of the foremost early frontiersmen, even though mythology often overshadows the historical details of his life.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELofaro2012180–183_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELofaro2012180–183-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Daniel_Boone&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Boone was born on October 22, 1734 (<a href="/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates" title="Old Style and New Style dates">"New Style"</a> November 2), the sixth of eleven children in a family of <a href="/wiki/Religious_Society_of_Friends" class="mw-redirect" title="Religious Society of Friends">Quakers</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMorgan20079_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan20079-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>note 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His father, Squire Boone (1696–1765), immigrated to <a href="/wiki/Province_of_Pennsylvania" title="Province of Pennsylvania">colonial Pennsylvania</a> from the small town of <a href="/wiki/Bradninch" title="Bradninch">Bradninch</a> in the county of <a href="/wiki/Devon" title="Devon">Devon</a>, England, sometime around 1712.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELofaro20121_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELofaro20121-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Squire, a weaver and blacksmith, married Sarah Morgan (1700–1777), whose family were Quakers from <a href="/wiki/Wales" title="Wales">Wales</a>.

In a similar vein, many folk tales depicted Boone as a man who migrated to more remote areas whenever civilization crowded in on him.

"Nothing embitters my old age," he said late in life, like "the circulation of absurd stories that I retire as civilization advances."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFaragher1992302,_325–326_136-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFaragher1992302,_325–326-136"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>129<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Existing simultaneously with the image of Boone as a refugee from society was, paradoxically, the popular portrayal of him as civilization's trailblazer.
