  Notes	Blazing The Way West: Daniel Boone & Davy Crockett http://www.letsfindout.com/subjects/america/frntrmen.html Boone, born Nov. 2, 1734, in Pennsylvania, opened up Kentucky for settlement between 1767 and 1784. He founded towns, served in the legislature, and became the most famous hunter and explorer of his time. As new settlers moved into the land he had opened, Boone moved further west and finally died in Missouri on Sept. 26, 1820. Encarta: Boone, Daniel (1734-1820), American pioneer, who played a major part in the exploration and settlement of Kentucky. Boone was born near Reading, Pennsylvania. In 1753 his family settled in a primitive settlement in what is now North Carolina, where Boone became a skillful hunter and trapper. Boone set out to explore the wilderness around the Kentucky River, making the first of many trips into the region in 1767. Between 1769 and 1771, he explored eastern Kentucky, following a trail through the Cumberland Gap. In 1775, having been engaged by a Carolina trading company to establish a road by which settlers could reach Kentucky, he built a fort on the site of Boonesborough. The road established by Boone was later called the Wilderness Road. The settlement at Boonesborough was eventually established as a permanent village.
