Daniel Boone Explores Kentucky

Daniel Boone and his party hunted and trapped in Kentucky from June 1769 until well into 1770; Boone remained in Kentucky after all the other members of the party had returned to North Carolina. Boone found numerous salt licks and immense herds of buffalo that made pathways through the region as they ventured from salt lick to salt lick. He came to the conclusion he would settle Kentucky.
