The United States Congress voted to give Boone one thousand acres of land. It was a reward for all he had done in exploring and settling the West. He hunted and fished until he was very old. He never stopped exploring. He was still looking for adventure and elbow room! But Daniel Boone, traveler, hunter, woodsman, and fighter, will be remembered longest as the man who opened the way to Kentucky. * * * * * "Get out of Kentucky and stay out!" the Indians told Daniel Boone. But Daniel Boone did not scare easily. There was the time his daughter was kidnaped by the Indians. Boone tracked the kidnapers through the forest and rescued her. There was the time Boone was captured by the Shawnees. He escaped in time to warn the people of Boonesborough: "The Indians are coming! Get ready to fight!" Boone's life was full of adventure. And this book tells his story. SCHOLASTIC BOOK SERVICES, NEW YORK
