American pioneer, hunter, and frontiersman, Daniel Boone was influential in extending the new nation beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Boone explored the Kentucky wilderness with his brother for two years (1767-69) and later brought his family there to settle in 1775. He extended the Wilderness Road over the Cumberland Gap through the Allegheny Mountains and built three settlements there, one of which was named “Boonesborough” (later “Boonesboro”). Boone was kidnapped by the Shawnees in 1778, though he escaped and warned Boonesborough of an impending attack.
