“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,” about the man whose name, character, and renown are indelibly linked with the story of the Bluegrass State.

Just how well do you know Daniel Boone?  In Part II of the winter lecture series, “Daniel Boone: The Myth” the crowd will be asked to participate, as we dive into how well the legends and folklore associated with the famous Kentucky hunter match up against the real story.  This session is one not be myth-ed.
