Daniel Boone had a Gov’t contract to build this road which had been used for years by explorers and surveyors including Jame John Floyd the year before Boon widened it as a wagon road. Blazing this road through the wilderness was a myth created by Boone who lived into his eighties. 2603:6081:6601:3E9C:431:73C2:C72E:A6EC (talk) 19:39, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

"The tribes were resentful of the settlers taking their ancestral hunting lands, and the French and Indian War had further stirred up their passions against the white man.[19]"

I believe "the white man" should be changed to "European American explorers and settlers." Or something similar. 2601:5CF:8601:6A40:259D:8EED:4DEB:7450 (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
