: Hello all, I just found this site and have been enjoying exploriting it. Love the LOTM and American History. Wondering if there is discussion here about Coopers Hawkeye character being inspired by Daniel Boone... as claimed by John Mack Farragher's biography of Boone. Boone's real life rescue of his daughter and the Callaway girls from Indian captors is as exciting as any fiction and my favorite story from this period of American History. By the way.. my father named me after Daniel Boone.

: I imagine I will find some discussion on this as I review the archived messages.. but would enjoy emails from anyone with this interest.

That rescue took place just a few miles from our farm. The Boone Wilderness Trail passes this way toward Cumberland Gap. There's been a lot of speculation recently about where Boone's son is buried. We have two local communities both claiming to be the site of the grave. NightSky
