What famous pioneer frontiersman was born in Oley Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania?
Daniel Boone
Daniel Boone
Daniel Boone (November 2, 1734 [O.S. October 22] September 26, 1820) was an American pioneer, explorer, woodsman, and frontiersman, whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the United States.
 Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia but on the other side of the mountains from the settled areas.
 As a young adult, Boone supplemented his farm income by hunting and trapping game, and selling their pelts in the fur market.
 Through this occupational interest, Boone first learned the easy routes to the area.
 Despite some resistance from American Indian tribes such as the Shawnee, in 1775, Boone blazed his Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains from North Carolina and Tennessee into Kentucky.
 There, he founded the village of Boonesborough, Kentucky, one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachians.
 Before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 Americans migrated to Kentucky/Virginia by following the route marked by Boone.
