Neither since Crockett had a give for gab and Boone was very good natured. Crockett would likely talk Boone into a celebrity snort of the local corn squeezing or if there’s time a celebrity hunting trip.

I was born in the Cumberland mountains. I never forgot that. Hunted bear and boar. Friended by Cherokee Indians as a child. One passed to me a Clovis spearpoint thousands of years old. I’ve been an explorer and avocational historian ever since. I now live in Appalachia.....the wonder. Daniel Boone’s favorite joke. What do you call two lesbians in a canoe? Fur Traders.

I’ve lived in Idaho for the last 40 years. I’ve hunted and lived with elk, bears, deer, indians, and mountains. Bridger, Meek, Custer, Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, and Cody are like names of neighbors. To me this is MAGA.

I may as well get into the act. Davy Crockett’s wife was a descendant of Macbeth.

Daniel’s sister Mary married William Bryan. Lots of endogamy back then!

No doubt! Just counting straight line relatives from your parents back to 6th great grandparents you‘ll have over 250 so if you add in all of Daniel’s siblings and their children and so on, easily into the thousands. There are probably many who have no idea they’re related to him.

Daniel Boone was a man.
Yes, a big man.
As a child, I was given to understand that upon encountering an ursine of even greater stature, Mr. Boone promptly sought an arboreal refuge.

If there ever was a symbol for what it means to be an American it’s Daniel Boone ! That's right on! Anyone thinking that America is going to die, has no clue.
