. __ Daniel __  __Boone__ “Hi” I’m Americas most famous scout, who am I? I’m Daniel Boone. I was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania on October 22, 1734. When I was just a boy, I usually tended the cows. I also loved the woods very much. One day when tending the cows, I found some bear tracks! I followed it, and then I killed it. When it finally got dark, my mother got worried. The next day she sent out a search party. One of the men saw smoke in the woods. The men found me cooking a bear. That was my first bear. In 1750 my father called “pack up your belongings children, were leaving.” So we traveled 500 miles to Yadkin Valley, North Carolina. In Yadkin Valley I went on my first long hunt. A long hunt is a hunt that lasts all fall, and part of winter. All my life I never went to school, or got home schooled. The only education I ever had was reading and writing, I learned the, when I was 21. On August 14, 1756, I married the love of my life Rebecca Bryan. Out of the 11 siblings I have I was born 6th. When my dad was working in the fields, I was in the woods hunting. I provided my family with fresh meat and skins for money, clothing, blankets and other stuff. Rebecca and I had 10 children. My first son was born in 1757, we named him James.one day 1000 white men and I attacked an Indian village. 5 minutes into that battle, I saw my son, Israel fall. When I ran over to him, blood was gushing out of his mouth. I picked him up, and started to run back home. Israel died in my arms. After about 10 yards, a big Indian jumped in my way. I dropped Israel and shot the Indian. The battle lasted 15 minutes. I am most famous for the Wilderness Trail. The Wilderness Trail is a trail that goes from the 13 colonies the new Kentucky. When I finished the trail, I started to build a settlement. After I finished, the people named it after me. The name was Boonesborough. Little after 2 months living in Boonesborough, my daughter and 2 other girls got captured by Indians. I followed the Indians trail, and in 2 days time, I saw smoke up ahead. I snuck up and had a surprise attack. I killed 2 Indians and wounded 1. When we got back to Boonesborough, we had a grand feast. About 2 years later I moved to Missouri, because I lost all my land in Kentucky. On March 18, 1813, Rebecca died. She lived to be 74. In the fall of 1817, I went on my last long hunt. Then one morning while I was sitting in my living room, I said to myself “I’m going, my time has come.” I died on September 26, 1820, when I was 86. I died of natural causes. = Thank you for listening to my speech =
