Daniel Boone

Fess Parker starred as legendary frontiersman Daniel Boone who conducted surveys, interacted with friendly and hostile Native Americans, and fought for the American cause during the Revolutionary War all the while providing wise leadership to the new Kentucky settlement of Boonesborough. Daniel was aided in his adventures by Oxford educated Cherokee Mingo, lovely redheaded wife Rebecca, precocious son Israel, teenage daughter Jemima, tavern keeper Cincinnatus, runaway slave turned Native American chief Gabriel Cooper, and amiable oafs Yadkin and Josh Clements.
