The legend of Daniel Boone is much different then the actual man. Robert Morgan gives an historic account of the real man.Boone was adventurous,brave and a great explorer but also irresponsible, a bit selfish in not being there for his family. He preferred to have his solitary in the woods at times and be away for long periods of time. He could have been prosperous and taken care of his family, but he preferred to neglect his business affairs. He was also a good man in many ways. He admitted he contributed to the depletion of game and leading many to the west to do the same. Man depleted the forests of game that the Native Americans preserved and respected for thousands of years. Daniel Boone also contributed to pushing the Indians out of their territory along with the British and the Americans. Mr. Boone fooled himself into believing he had great respect and friendship with the Native Americans. He was a great man with incredible faults as many of the rest of us.
