Biographical History
Daniel Boone (1734-1820) was a pioneer land settler, Indian fighter and he served in military and political positions in Kentucky. At the time this letter was written, he was on the verge of losing his many tracts of land because the titles were improperly entered.
Indian fighter and scout.
Explorer and pioneer.
American pioneer, explorer, and frontiersman whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the U.S. Jacob I. Cohen was a land speculator and slaveowner who hired Boone, the "noted Kentucky pioneer and Indian fighter," to survey his land.
Kentucky and Missouri pioneer.
Moving in 1783 to Limestone (Maysville), Mason County, Kentucky, Boone operated a tavern, bought and sold general merchandise, and traded horses in addition to speculating in land and locating and surveying plats for others. Surveying without proper training or tools, Boone's results were frequently faulty, leading to lawsuits against him. Also, Boone's testimony was often required in other suits regarding lands he had surveyed. Legal entanglements persisted until the Boone family departed for Missouri in Sept., 1799.
