Several months ago I stood on the same pinnacle as Daniel Boone and viewed the same landscape, then a wilderness now called Kentucky. It was an awesome view and I can only imagine what Daniel Boone viewed and thought in 1775 when it was a wilderness. I wonder then if he knew the high price he and other settlers would pay with their lives trying to forge a living and expanding the young nation westward.
