Daniel Boone was born on October 22, 1734 and later died on September 26, 1820. He was an American pioneer and hunter whose frontier explorations made him one of the first heroes of the United States. Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now the state of Kentucky. Despite resistance from American Indians, for whom Kentucky was a traditional hunting ground, in 1775 Boone blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky. There he founded Boonesborough, one of the first English-speaking settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered Kentucky by following the route marked by Boone.

The guys did whatever the Indians asked them to until the seventh day. It was in the middle of the night and everybody was asleep except Daniel. He woke John Stewart and they snuck out of the Indians sight very quickly in hopes of finding their old campsite. They finally came upon there old camp and found that everybody was gone home.
Daniel Boone and John Stewart were alone now; well that's what they thought. Just as the two were getting ready to leave the old camp, Daniel's brother Squire Boone and his friend came upon the campsite in search of Daniel. They were really shock to have found each other but were happy because they were all together now. Soon after they all met, John Stewart was captured by the Indians and later killed and the man that came with his brother had returned home by himself. They were now left alone out in the dangerous forests surrounded by savages all alone. They tried to make the best out of them being alone as they could. They actually had some enjoyable times out there together. They continued to hunt and prepared a new cottage to stay in. They remained there unharmed until the winter, and on the first day of May, 1770, Daniel's brother returned home to the settlement to get horses and ammunition. This left Daniel all alone, without anything to eat or anybody to help him hunt or protect himself. While his brother was gone, Daniel

Beginning on February 9, 1779, Clark and his men embarked for Vincennes 240 miles away through the now flooded region. The major faced a test of morality as the company trudged through frozen dirt and in freezing waters. In the rain, the troops sung to keep high hopes and when they were close enough to the village, Clark had to post a riflemen at the rear to encourage the tired individuals (Davis 98). Their ambitions rose when they captured an Indian hunting canoe carrying buffalo meat, corn, tallow, and kettles. After devouring their finds, the unit made it the final miles within eyesight of Fort Sackville on February 23(Davis 99).
Daniel Boone is a well know woodsman, explore, and an American pioneer. 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. This is what began his journey to establish Kentucky as a young man he created routes to and from places in the woods which helped him learn how to navigate the woods and establish roads and ways to get to Kentucky.

Sergeant John Ordway, who slept in the leaders’ tent, was always put in charge when the captains were away. Private John Shields, a blacksmith, was essential to the men as he could repair their guns. John Colter was considered one of the best hunters in the group, and they often sent him out alone to scout ahead for game. A Shoshone named Old Toby guided the Corps in the Rocky mountain range to find the Lolo Trail. Even Seaman, Lewis’ dog, played a crucial role in the expedition, saving lives on multiple instances. Each of these people was vital to the success of the mission, even though they were not often acknowledged for their role.

The film I chose is “High Plains Drifter” directed by Clint Eastwood. The film talks about a stranger who arrives at a small town where he is informed by the sheriff of the return/comeback of three gun-toting men, now in jail for having killed the previous sheriff and he proposes him to stay and defend the citizens as he is very good at shooting. The stranger first refuses but after being guaranteed that he could have asked whatever he wanted in return, he accepts. His way of approaching goes immediately against the citizens who try to kill him. Meanwhile the stranger prepares everything to welcome the three men back but as soon as the three men come shooting, nobody reacts. The stranger manages to kill one of them by whipping him and after that, the other two men, finding themselves alone, get killed by the stranger. The day after the stranger departs and passes Mordecai (one of the citizen) who is working on the grave of the sheriff Duncan (the one who was killed by the three men) and comments that he still doesn’t know his name. The stranger replies that he is writing his brother’s name on that grave.

Faulkner grew up in Mississippi in the beginning of the twentieth century ('William Faulkner'; 699). He was the son to Murray C. and Maud Butler Faulkner (Hoffman 13). Growing up in the South in the early 1900's meant being exposed to harsh racism. He watched the blacks endure unbelievable amounts of cruelty and was amazed at how the blacks conducted themselves with such dignity. He witnessed, first hand, what discrimination is and could not comprehend why this goes on. In many of Faulkner's works I found that he portrayed blacks as quite,easy-going, well-tempered people. He attempted to show them as heroes. It is my belief that Faulkner writes about the south because that is the subject that has affected his life most.
