Daniel Boone is a Pennsylvanian

Daniel Boone was born in 1734 in the area around Reading, Pennsylvania. He lived there until he was about 16. His family were English Quakers. The Boones left Pennsylvania in 1750. They moved around for a while, and eventually, around 1752, they settled in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina.

Daniel Boone was not one to stay in one place for very long. He was a man of action who helped settle the American wilderness. He had many exploits in many states after he left Pennsylvania.

But there is no doubt that he had his start among the Quaker community in our heartland.
