This is the story of the great American frontiers man Daniel Boone. When america moved west Daniel Boone led America. Wherever he went people seemed to follow. He was the frontiers man and his fame was world wide at his death in 1820. His legend is the common property of every American and he has been immortalised in Lord Byron's poem Don Juan in these lines, "Of the great names which in our faces stare, The General Boone, back-woodsman of Kentucky, Was happiest amongst mortals anywhere." 

Daniel Boone typified the eternal pioneering spirit of American and tonight he takes his rightful place in the Cavalcade of America.
