Kentucky was a wonderful challenge to Daniel Boon and his five companions. The year being 1769, the view of the great forests, and streams of water, the fertile valleys and buffaloes, deer, elk, bears, and other small game in abundance. This must have been the answer to all the stories that he had heard about Kentucky.

After being captured by the Indians and escaping seven days later he returned to his camp only to find it deserted.

Daniel Boone returned to Virginia. He is to return at a later date. In 1774 Boone built a fort at Boonesborough.

There are markings on trees and stones with D BOON on them as good sign of his presence in this state.

The beech tree was an easy tree for the signing of one's mark or name.

Would there be any information about these inscriptions and the different spellings?
