Daniel Boone
I have been a student of Daniel Boone for long time. We all know that Boone journeyed through the Cumberland Gap on the way to the "dark and bloody ground". - and that Abraham Lincoln (Thomas Lincoln's father) was among that party on that particular trip. I am always amazed at the places Daniel Boone went to. Did you know he visited and bought property in Pensacola? His wife Becky refused to move there. When in his 50's, he and Becky went to Maryland to visit. Of course, he eventually left Kentucky and settled in Missouri. Legend has it that before he died in 1820- he had even explored out as far west as the Yellowstone area. Truly fascinating person! Abraham Lincoln's story may have been quite different if his grandfather hadn't agreed to follow Boone to Kentucky. Maybe we would never have heard of Abraham Lincoln!

Forgot to add this: Boone even spent time in my hometown Detroit- as a P.O.W. During the Revolution!
