Daniel Boone was an American pioneer and hunter whose
frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the
United States. Boone is most famous for
his exploration and settlement of what is now the State of Kentucky, which
was then beyond the western borders of the Thirteen Colonies. Despite
resistance from American Indians, for whom
Kentucky
was a traditional hunting ground, in 1775 Boone blazed the
Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap
and into Kentucky. There
he founded Boonesborough, one of the first English-speaking settlements
beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before the end
of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered
Kentucky
by following the route marked by Boone. This pristine route is
what Mike and Bone used on there second, savage attack on 2008 to climb
mountains, drink margies, and of course, make fun of Hillbillies !!!!
