“Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections. Let these influencing powers actuate, by the permission or disposal of Providence, from selfish or social views, yet in time the mysterious will of Heaven is unfolded, and we behold our conduct, from whatever motives excited, operating to answer the important designs of heaven.”

Daniel Boone foi um pioneiro e desbravador americano cujas aventuras o tornaram um dos primeiros heróis folclóricos dos Estados Unidos. Ele ficou famoso por sua exploração e colonização de Kentucky, que então estava além das fronteiras ocidentais das Treze Colônias. Em 1775, sob comissão da Companhia Transilvânia do Juiz Richard Henderson, Boone abriu a Estrada da Selva através do Cumberland Gap e para Kentucky diante da resistência de tribos indígenas próximas. Ele fundou Boonesborough, um dos primeiros assentamentos de língua inglesa a oeste das Montanhas Apalaches. No final do século XVIII, mais de 200.000 pessoas haviam entrado em Kentucky seguindo a rota marcada por Boone.
