Daniel Boone: The Man, The Myth, and The Memory Part I

“Daniel Boone was a man, was a big man” is how many remember first hearing the name of the famous hunter and explorer from their youth in the late 1960s.  The question is, just how big of a man was Daniel Boone?  How does Boone’s story from the TV show measure up to his legendary status?  Reference Librarian Travis Souther will host a three-part winter lecture series on the famous frontiersman entitled, “Daniel Boone: The Man, The Myth, and The Memory,” documenting the story of the man whose name, character, and renown are indelibly linked with the story of the Bluegrass State.  

In this family-friendly series, Part I: “Daniel Boone: The Man” will examine the real story of the explorer, his times, and his impact on Kentucky.  Don’t be left out in the boonies, come discover the truth, scout out the library's resources, and explore America's first frontier.
