Let me say as a British subject I found this series without peer. Marvellous in both narrative and scenery. Dare I say ot....God bless America and especially the Boons it creates.......

As a Dutch man i'm just an outsider looking in; America's history fascinates me. Thank you very much for sharing, sir. Appreciate it a lot. Greets from the Netherlands 🌷, T.

He is my 7th generation uncle. I am seventh generation grandchild of Israel his brother. I love this documentary. Thank you so much for having done such an excellent job and the actors were great.

160 miles.. in four days.. with no gear.. in thick wilderness.. that man was a badass!

I am a proud descendant of this great man. Thank you for this tribute. A 5th gen. Grandson.

One of the best documentaries on Daniel Boone

I sit here humbled and weeping with pride at the life if one of our founding fathers. Thank you

An interesting sideline. When Daniel Boone was old and contemplating his death, he carved a casket from black oak. He stored the casket under his bed at the home in Missouri and, it is said, would occasionally lay in it to study the fit. At some point he gave away that casket for a man who died in a town without means...a generous act for certain. Of course, there was this matter of the uncertainty about eternal rest in cramped quarters. He proceeded to carve a new casket from cherry that was more to his liking for space and it rested under his bed until his death. He was indeed buried in that hand carved casket...the one that he supposed fitted him better than the first attempt.

As fine a documentary as has been accomplished , to my knowledge, and I am a lifelong student of D. Boone. He was my boyhood hero, and I emulated his life in Kaintuck every way I could, buckskins, flintlock, and all! Thanks.

A wonderful tribute to the man who was the image for all frontiersmen. Well done!

This is the finest presentation on the life of Daniel Boone I have ever seen. The detail and research is extraordinary. Thank you.

As a Boone descendant and proud of my heritage, I must say that was amazing. Very professionally put together. And I recognized a few familiar reenactor faces!

This was great. Wish we got to see more stuff like this in school.

Beautifully done. What a rich vignette of a True American Hero.

Rest in peace Daniel Boone and your family, you will always be remembered remember

Thankin y'all so much for this here documentary. Means so much to myself and my three sons who are all fortunate enough to be Kentuckians as well as history bluffs.

What a wonderful documentary about an awesome man.

Splendid portrayal of one of America's greatest sons!! May he rest in peace

Its a shame the kids in school today are not taught this wonder full history. I am glad I was born 57 years ago and was able to learn this wonder full history in school.

Thank you so much for this! When I was in grade school, I'm over 50 now, Daniel Boone was kind of my hero. I did at least 3 book reports on him. I'm from PA. originally and once on a trip to visit family in N.C. my dad took us to Boonesboro. I thought it was great, but would love to go again as an adult so I could appreciate it more. Maybe I will some day. Thanks again!

Very exciting and inspiring. I hope that this documentary's audience continues to grow! Boone's life story is such a crucial piece of the American experience.

I wonder what Daniel Boone would think of America today??.....I recently hiked near Cumberland Gap and was reminded of this story. 👌🏼🙏🏼

This biography and documentary is as well done as any I have ever seen. Thank you.

I never knew just how much Daniel Boone contributed to our history. Great lesson in our American History.

Awesome! He is a Great American!

This was so awesome. Just straight and incredible describing how much he did for America. Loved how it was presented. Thank you!

My maternal grandparents lived in Marthasville, MO, for many years. I'm 75 now, but stayed with them often in Summers when I was little. We went into downtown Marthasville to do their laundry. The downtown area has changed very little in 70 years, just the constant traffic on the main highway that goes right by it, and the grounds..."once trampled on by Daniel Boone and his family. Sadly, I can never remember going to the (former) Boone grave sites.

Really great account of history, well put together. I love learning about my family, a lot of those traits of honor, respect, and faith in Jesus have carried down through the generations. Per Part 1 Daniel's brother in-law, John S Stewart married Daniel's baby sister Hannah, they are my Great grandparents (x6), through their daughter Sarah 'Sally' Boone who married John Osborn. The 1793 map (link below) shows 'Boonsburg' and Otter Creek. It was Daniel's son, Nathan who wrote that his uncle John Stewart's bones were "found not far from Boonesborough along Otter Creek", his bones were in the hollow of a Sycamore Tree. In Jan 1770 John, a proud Scotsman and Daniel who were best friends and brother in-laws to each other, were hunting in KY. Shawnee chased then, they fled and got separated. Daniel waited at camp but John never showed. In the Spring of 1775 when making Boone Trace (trail) they came up to the Kentucky River. For whatever reason they went into the Sycamore grove where many herds gathered to the salt lick, and they found John's bones in that tree. It was suspected that he was wounded and hid in the hollow of the Sycamore and bled to death. His powder horn was found at his feet with his initials on it. His wife, Hannah was left with 5 children, and two years after finding John she remarried Richard Pennington and had more children. It was unknown if Hannah would ever marry again, her mother Sarah (sr.) said that Hannah cried for years hoping John would come home. I left more info in a comment on Part 1. 1793 KENTUCKY MAP www.loc.gov/resource/g3950.ct007124/?r=0.384,0.538,0.618,0.219,0

I'm a direct descendant of Daniel Boone and I dearly thank you for this documentary.

What a great tribute to an American icon...he lived a long, great live. So sad for him to see so many loved ones die though, no loving parent should have to go through this:(

Would've loved to see America back then. Wild and free.

We owe so much to those who birthed this great American Experiment. What a man.

According to what I was told by the late Mr Frank Boone a descendant of Daniels brother Squire, who was born and raised in Booneville Mo that when the commission of Kentucky Historians was sent to Missouri to disinter Daniel, and Rebecca they were led to the graves, of two of the Boone families deceased slaves, whose bodies were removed and taken to Frankfort, where they were reinterred in the monument that stands today, and Daniel, and Rebecca, remain in their original resting places, protected by other descendants..

Why wasn’t I taught this whole being raised and schooled in Kentucky? Thanks for the history lesson that I should have received many years ago.

My Great great great great great great great Uncle!

Well Done. Never realized Daniel Boone traveled to Spanish Missouri in late 18th Century. Wonderful, He lived as he wished and believed in God, The Creator. I would guess that He also read the Scriptures; would that Bible be the Geneva Bible ? We all make some impact on the World, but few of us will ever be remembered for our impact on our world. He was truly a remarkable man, a God Fearing man. Thank you.

Wonderful account, enjoyed it immensely.

EXCELANT ONE OF THE BEST HISTORICAL VIDEOS I HAVE EVER WATCHED. FROM GLASGOW, KY

A real American hero today's generation needs to be taught about him

Thank you so much for an excellent documentary.

Great Documentary. Finally a fact based, truthful telling of the life of Daniel Boone.

This Present Day USA would break his heart...

Beautifully created biography of Daniel Boone! Thank you!

What a guy...Daniel was a man among men...So inspiring, and truly American!

I Am more than a conqueror in Christ who enables me. Boone was a true American pioneer and Bible believer. Can we hope to attain such repute? Video Stellar - thank you for this beautiful work.

Learn something new Every day . Love history Thank you

Wow Daniel Boone was a Bonafide Badass ! And a Colonel to boot. Makes me Proud to be from the South. Good Vibes 👣

This was such a great historical film. Part 1 and 2 were amazing. Learning that Daniel Boon died in the morning of September 26, 1820 is very significant to me. Thank you so much.

According to the journals of Lewis and Clark--they ran into Daniel Boone in Missouri on their way west.!

All that can be said and is TRUE!!!, is "WHAT A LOVING PERSON AND GREAT AMERICAN!!!!! May god bless you always DANIEL BOONE

That was really great. I spent 30 years in those hills and creeks not far from Boones fort in Madison Co. My son still lives there, what a great video.

Very well done! Strange, how many frontiersmen, hunters, lovers of God’s natural beauty and creation helped bring about its end. Always longing to find a new untouched land, opening it up, then mourning for what was lost.

Daniel Boone a likeable man even the Shawnee s liked him

I live 2 miles from Cumberland Gap......on the old trial.....!

I have spent a goodly part of today binging o Kent's documentaries. Your works are without equal,and though I've binged all I can today, I'm looking forward to anther day of the same.

An incredibly well-done documentary, as a child Daniel Boone was my favorite western hero. Thank-you.

I lost two members of my family at Boonesboro in 1779 . My 6th Great Grandfather Jacob Baughman (1721-1779) and 7th Great Uncle John Baughman (1743-1779). The Baughman family had contracted Daniel Boone to survey a plot of land in Kentucky. Both men can be found in the ledgers with notes indicating their deaths.

I woke up and heard this playing. For 20 minutes I was almost positive that I was listening to Jimmy Stewart.

Thank YOU very much! about 10 yrs ago I drove my little 1972 rv to az on the way there stopped by couple of the Lincoln places and on the way back went to Nathans stone house I was lost on those back roads by the time I got there it was closed so I slept in the parking lot . the next morning was sunday and it did not open so I went out a different way that had old homesteads the whole area is very eerie I ended up in Marthasville and could not find the road out went around a few times...very interesting experience I went to the supposed grave site that too was otherworldly. Its really got energy of its own. This brought all that back...enjoyed it very much and so well done.

This doco parts 1 & 2 were very well put together.. very enjoyable and informative. I was very pleased to see the mention of the very brave & determined frontier women who went out to get water under the eye of armed soldiers ... as a descendant of Ned Boone's daughter its nice to see these fierce women get a nod. It would be nice to know more about how Rebecca managed all those years.

This was great real history lesson Thank-you very much

A true American hero rest in peace old friend.

learning a lot here. very well done indeed.

A very good documentary here of Daniel Boone.

I am very thankful for this well conceived and produced video. This is better than anything The History Channel has produced in 15 years. Imagine settlers and native people haggling over bleached bones or chasing alligators.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary.

I had a bound collection of newspaper pages from Missouri. One story was an interview with Daniel Boone.

What more could ever be said of a man.

Excellent and very interesting videos. What a life, and what incredible people these early settlers and frontiersmen were.

Very informative and well put together.

This was a Great documentary!!! Love everything witnessing history puts out!! Keep it up!

The best of the Daniel Boone documentaries. Thank you.

I was hoping to hear a bit about the Duncan family as they helped settle and survey parts of Kentucky. Duncan was also military. My 5th great grandfather built the Duncan Tavern. I'm sure you've came across it in your research or know of it. Thanks to Daniel Boone families like the Duncans and also the Cole's (Cole's Bad Tavern owned by Richard Cole and the Black Horse later owned by his son Richard Cole Jr. also Grandparents on the other side of my family) were able to settle in Kentucky. Both the Duncan and Cole families both partially moved to Clay county Missouri.

Boone was a great settler and founder but let us not forget that a man named Simon Kenton saved Boone's life (as we see in the film). Henry Hamilton, the British commander at Detroit, paid for American scalps.

then, a man, now and forever, a LEGEND..we will remember you Mr. Boone RIP

We took our four young children to the site of fort Boonesburough years ago. Always wanted to go back to see the fort they built for tourists.

I think Hollywood need to make a big budget action / adventure movie based upon the life of Daniel Boone. What a tale it would be.

I’m not sure how old Kent Masterson Brown is now, but I hope he has a few more good years of health to do another productions to narrate another Daniel Boone production. This production was a full fledged production, actors, script, professional director and production company, set wardrobe, location and historic research production team, I mean this had to have serious investors for this budget… which leads me to my request… You have to assemble the same production talent and recreate the Battle of Bryan Station… I just love watching this over and over when I’m out camping or just building a camp fire in my backyard.

great History and great comments from descendants.....i walked though american history when hiking the Appalachain Trail....it was always present and accounted for including the name of Daniel Boone and my first time seeing Cumberland Gap brought that history of the way west to life.... thx for this

Excellent!! Thank you.

Beautiful! We would all do well specially our younger generation to know and remember the men who built and, gave us our country.

Daniel Boone was a tough customer. So much so that at the age of 75 years old, he hiked several hundred miles over rough terrain to visit Congress, in Hope's that he may be somewhat rewarded for the territory he discoved, and for the contribution he made to settlers on the frontier at the the time. Christopher Columbus may have "discovered" America, but Danial Boone, in my opinion, is the man that helped to really help pave the way for what she would eventually become. What is sad is what America has become. I believe if Boone were alive today, and had seen all the changes America has gone through since the time he was trekking through the mountains, I believe he would say we have destroyed the it. That and being a Christian man, he would be appalled that we as Americans celebrate things like homosexuality/transgenderism, and would be utterly horrified that we have people who want to teach it in school, as part of the curriculum, to children as young as 6yrs old. (Obviously he was very old schooled, raised in an entirely different time period, so you would have to expect him to have such views.) I think he would also be sad and disheartened that we have people in office that are more interested in their own personal gain, than trying to do right by the people that elected them. I think he would be very impressed by all the modern convieneces we have, but would also see them as making people softer and weaker, and would be repulsed by the attitude of young people, not just with their contempt for authority; regarding their parents and the law in general, but also their entitled attitude and lack of strong work ethic. Back in his day, men worked hard for everything they had, and unfortunately would work themselves to death as a result. But that's what made them the men that they were - hard work, and hardship.

Love the Intro , This is just Fantastic, Thank you and Much Respect .🤠🖖

Thank you for this documentary- it is informative and thought provoking

I’m not related to anyone in this documentary that I know of. Fortunately everyone able to watch this is related to people who did the things needed to survive as evidenced by your presents. Congratulations and don’t ever think your history is less eventful. All mankind is interrelated.

That's some real history thanks for your wonderful video.

Excellent documentary. Uk Veteran

Loved both parts, well done!

Excellent documentary! If you want a deeper and more detailed look at this great man's life, the book, "Boone" by Robert Morgan is an excellent biography as well.

Thank you so very much for a very informative Story.

Wow, married 57 years. You were lucky to even live that long back then.

Daniel Boone is my Grandfather 4 generations back! Very cool!

For being a simple, self educated man, he spoke with an eloquence that few people could manage today.

I'm reading a book, "The Frontiersmen", a historical novel but, 7 years in the making, was as fact-based as it could be. Published in the 1960s. The author as been criticized but I'm enjoying this book tremendously based upon the life of Simon Kenton referenced in this episode. The book is written chronologically and dates are specific to our history. So, I'm following the book closely to this dialog. Thank you.

...Thanks...very interesting 2 parts...

I was born and raised in Harrodsburg Kentucky, the oldest permanent settlement west of the Alleghany mountains.

Virginia hasn't changed at all. Btw...I loved this. Such a great story and I learned so much. Thank you sir.

Great presentation

My 7th Great Grand Cousin. RIP dearest Daniel.

very well done documentary. thank you
