I adored this show, and watched it for the longest time. A family favorite, actually. Imagine if you will, a time and place where the entire family could sit around the tube and watch the same program. This flys in the face of modern culture. I miss this this iconic show and time capsule.
I dearly hope you win the contest,

This was a well done life story of Daniel Boone. I too saw the Daniel Boone series with Fess Parker. I only saw one misspelled word. That is schoo should be school

Hello Friend,
Nice piece of General Fiction having a VERY captivating START, but later its grip becomes loose only to regain the strength in the last quarter of the story.
Good Luck in the contest.

I think you did a wonderful job of telling the adventures and story of Daniel Boone. When I lived in Tennessee, it was all about Boone, so I thought he did more than just traverse the state and explore the mountains but apparently that was all he did or most of what he did in TN. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Really fascinating stuff about this well known folk hero! But after all you told me, I keep feeling so sorry for his wife - ten kids and mostly all alone and two boys were killed. Heroes aren't always the best husbands or dads.

"about 50 immigrant " (immigrants)
"he could get them [to?] surrender "
"once again fortune turned " (Once) Later in the same sentence you use "once again" again so you might want to change that.
"Daniel Boone September 26, 1820," (needs a verb. died?)

This extensive encapsulation of Daniel Boone's life is packed with the man's daring dos. Although folk heroes get a boost from their lives being told in exaggeration, he was still a colorful and important figure in his time.

Your Biography of famous people contest entry on Daniel Boone was wonderful. My son-in-law is a descendant of his. This biography should do well. Good luck!

I didn't know all of this about Daniel Boone. He was a remarkable man with many survival skills along with his hunting prowess. He lived to be a ripe old age considering all of the twists and turns that occurred in his life. I enjoyed reading this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

I love Daniel Boone and always have since he was the hero in his TV show. I've read a lot about him but you gave me some new facts. I did find a couple of things for you to correct. Have a great day. Shirley

he could get them (to) surrender
Daniel Boone (died) September 26, 1820, at his son
