In his peaceful habitation on tho banks j
of the Yadakin river, in North Carolina,
Daniel Boon, the illustrious hunter, had
heard Finley, a trader, so memorablo cs
the pioneer, describe a tract of laud west
of Virginia, as the richest in North Aineri
oj, or iu tho world. In May, 1079, leaving
his wife and offspring, having Finley as his
pilot, end four others as his companions,
the young man of about three and twenty
wandered through tho wilderness of A
mciiea, -'in quest of the country of Ken
tuclcy," krown to t e lavages os " the
Dark ncd Bloody Ground," 'tho Middle
Grouud,' between tho subjects of the Five
Nati U3 aud tlio Cherokee. After a long

ranges, the ptrty found thcmsclvp in June
on 'h'j lied Bank, a tributary to ths Ken
tucky, and from the top of an cmineuco
surveyed with- dcli.ht tho beautiful t-lain

built tlicir shelter and bor'an to reeonnoiter
and to hunt. All the kinds of mid beasts
that were uatur il to Vjnerica tbo stately
elk. the tir.ii deer, tho aailored Ding, the
wild cat, tha boar, tho pauher, and wolf
crouched among tho canes, or roamed over
tho iie'11 grasses, wbich, even beneath -he
thickest bhades, sr.ang lusuriautly out of
the generous soil. Tho buffaloes cropped
fearlessly tho herbago or browsed on th
leaves of tho reed, and were more frequent
than ca.tlo iu a settlement of Carolina
herdsmen. Sometimes there wcro hundreds
in a drove, an.d round the salt licks their
