Question

What kind of picture of Frontier life does Daniel Boone give, and does it seem representative of the frontier experience of the 1700s

Primary Source: The Adventures of Daniel Boone

Answer 1

Boone helped in making the Wilderness Road from Virginia to Kentucky and later established the Boonesboro settlement. Boone's life was representative of the Frontiersman. He was a true exprorer, who loved the wilderness, did not fear the Indians. The Frontier was a place with no people, unexplored and tempting. He always loved coming back to Kentucky, but his character needed to go further and find a land that could not be taken away.
