IT'S DANIEL'S DAY!
June 7th is "Daniel Boone Day!"
But it's not the birthday or death
anniversary of the famed
frontersman. June 7th marks the
day in 1769 when Boone first
laid eyes on the hills and valleys
of what is not the State of
Kentucky. He began a setlement
there, Boonesborough which became
a stepping off place for pioneers to
head west. Boonesborough was
considered the first settlement
west of the Applacian Mountains!
Of course Daniel evebtually headed
west himself making a name for
himself that's know to most
everyone. And we should
remember that the great Daniel
Boone...is a native of
Pennsylvania!!! Hope you're
celebrating, perhaps doing a bit
of exploring yourself, and that
all your NEWS is good!
