"Col. Daniel Boone", engraving by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Otto_Lewis&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="James Otto Lewis (page does not exist)">James Otto Lewis</a>, based on a lost 1820 painting by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chester_Harding" title="Chester Harding">Chester Harding</a>. In 1861, Harding destroyed the original painting, which had been painted on ordinary table oilcloth and was aging poorly, by cutting out the head and putting it on a new canvas. Lewis's engraving is the only remaining version of the original full-length portrait. This engraving accurately depicts Boone's clothing—later depictions often inaccurately put Boone in a coonskin cap.
