Ed Ames: Mingo on Daniel Boone

Good to know... and since both Parker and Ames are still alive and
well, and
Daniel Boone lived to a very old age for the times he was in, wonder
what
the chances of a reunion film could be?

It would be interesting to have a telling of the later years of Daniel
Boone:

"...Boone spent his final years in Missouri, often in the company of
children and grandchildren. He hunted and trapped as often as his
failing
health allowed. According to one story, in 1810 or later Boone went
with a
group on a long hunt as far west as the Yellowstone
a remarkable journey at his age, if true. Other stories of Boone around
this
time have him making one last visit to Kentucky in order to pay off his
creditors, although some or all of these tales may be folklore. In the
most
famous of these stories, American painter John James
have gone hunting with Boone in the woods of Kentucky around
1810. Years later, Audubon painted a portrait of Boone, supposedly from
memory, although skeptics have noted the similarity of this painting to
the
well-known portraits by Chester
Boone's family insisted that Boone never returned to Kentucky after
1799,
although some historians believe that Boone visited his brother Squire
near
Kentucky in 1810 and have therefore reported Audubon's story as
factual...
In Missouri, Boone's sons Daniel Morgan Boone and Nathan Boone fought
in the
time
Boone was too old for militia duty. On March
Daniel Boone died September 26
on
Femme Osage Creek. Boone was buried next to Rebecca at the Bryan Farm
on
Tuque Creek, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from present day
