Daniel Boone Day! Daniel Boone was a famous US frontiersman and the first American to discover present day Kentucky. He also created a path to open up the frontier for future American settlers.
In 1769, Boone led an expedition through the Cumberland Gap, which he later transformed into the Wilderness Road, to provide others access to the western frontier. In 1773, Boone moved his family to this newly found settlement in present day Kentucky. He faced great opposition from Native Americans and British Soldiers in his newly-founded settlement. The Shawnee, a Native American tribe, captured Boone in 1778, but he escaped to protect his settlement. In the end, Boone moved further west (present day Missouri) and spent the rest of his life peacefully living off of the land until he died at age 85.
Daniel Boone discovered and developed one of the most important gateways for early American settlers to reach the Trans-Appalachian West. Today, Boone is still a symbol of the Western pioneering spirit. Celebrate Daniel Boone Day by learning more about American history or researching other important Americans of the frontier era. Happy Daniel Boone Day!

Somehow I don't think all the movies and television shows we have seen about him were quite accurate.

None of our revered 'heroes' were probably quite as portrayed these days.

@Magnolia832: Yes, Ole Daniel did indeed leave us some rich history that was pivotal to the development of our early frontier for sure.
 
Only wish they taught more of our early Texas & American history in our schools today.

I would like to have learned more about how they stayed cool in the summer and how they preserved, prepared and cooked their food back in those days because there may come a time soon when we need to know these things.

Food was dried or salted. If you lived where the winters were cold enough, you could smoke meats and leave in the smoke house to keep. In the deep south, meats were salted and dried for months, think how dry a country ham is. Those things keep for years. Potatoes were stored in the basement or root cellar, not touching each other, Carrots could be layered in sand. There are many more ways, and more and more people are starting to rely on them. Just look at off grid living and food preservation.
