Daniel Boone (1734-1820) was an American frontiersman who is considered one of the first folk heroes of the United States. Born in Pennsylvania, he steadily made his way west, eventually becoming one of the first white settlers to explore what is now the Kentucky region. Within two decades over 200,000 settlers had made their way into the area through routes established by Boone.
