Come hear the exciting life episodes of America’s pioneer hero Daniel Boone during the tumultuous, eventful years of our Founding Era (1773-1783). He takes the initial steps to begin America’s First Westward Movement to create Kentucky and then fights to keep a new nation free. Follow the challenging adventures of this favorite son of North Carolina on the western front in rhythm with the Revolution back east.

Randell Jones is an award-winning writer and storyteller, serving 14 years as an invited member of the Road Scholar Speaker’s Bureau of the NC Humanities Council and recipient of the History Award Medal from the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. He is the author of In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone and Before They Were Heroes at Kings Mountain as well as other books of the pioneer era and the American Revolution. This presentation is illustrated by scores of images he has captured at historical reenactments during the last 20 years.
