Michael MelitoHOST
Some people think an apocalypse is going to end up looking like Grizzly Adams or modern-day Daniel Boone.
Michael MelitoHOST

Michael MelitoHOST
There's a pretty stiff penalty in the Bible for false prophets.

speaker_0NARRATOR
GAME WAS PLENTIFUL, IN GREAT VARIETY.
speaker_0NARRATOR
THE DIFFICULTIES TO BE OVERCOME WERE NO MORE THAN THOSE ATTENDING THE NAVIGATION OF A SWIFT AND TURBULENT RIVER WHOSE ERRATIC CHANNEL WAS FILLED WITH SAND BARS AND DEAD TIMBER.
Mary LivingstonePANELIST
Yeah, and don't forget your coonskin cap.

Mary, I haven't worn a coonskin cap since I portrayed Daniel Boone in our high school play.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
[laughs]
Jack BennyHOST
I went over very big.
Michael FassioNARRATOR
But steam dispelled these ambitions, and the American boy was forced to turn his hopes upon the land of the setting sun.
Michael FassioNARRATOR
Daniel Boone was a hero to admire.
Michael FassioNARRATOR
David Crockett, Kit Carson, and others became the beau ideal of border heroes, and the heart of the youth thrilled in reading of these men in buckskin.
Michael FassioNARRATOR
And these men of the wild west, of whom Buffalo Bill is the most conspicuous figure, made it possible for other border heroes to appear.

John BrandonNARRATOR
His propositions were duly considered and responded to by that famous firm, representatives of thrift, enterprise, energy, and courage, who well deserve the commendation of history and the gratitude of their countrymen.
John BrandonNARRATOR
Russell was a Green Mountain boy, who before his majority had gone West to grow up with the country, and after teaching a three-months' school on the frontier of Missouri had hired to old John Aull, of Lexington, Missouri, at thirty dollars per month to keep books, and was impressed in lessons of economy by the anecdotes of Aull that a London company engaged in the India trade had saved eighty pounds per annum in ink by omitting to dot the i's and cross the t's, when he was emptying his pen by splashing the office wall with ink.
John BrandonNARRATOR
Alexander Majors is still living, venerable with years and honors, a mountain son of Kentucky frontier ancestry, the colleague and friend of Daniel Boone; and William Waddell, an ancestral Virginian of the Blue Grass region of Kentucky, bold enough for any enterprise and able to fill any missing niche in Western wants.
John BrandonNARRATOR
The Pony Express was born from this conference, and the first move was to compass the necessary auxiliaries to assure success.
Michael MelitoHOST
Look at what we have today versus what our forefathers hunted with.
Michael MelitoHOST
A single-shot 20-gauge with modern ammunition would be a wonder weapon to Daniel Boone.
Michael MelitoHOST
or John Smith that landed here with, you know, a flintlock, or actually it would have been a matchlock when, you know, John Smith landed in Jamestown, right? It would be a wonder weapon for them.
Michael MelitoHOST
Keep it in perspective, guys.
Michael MelitoHOST
It's not the best knife in the world.
Michael MelitoHOST
They're decent.
Michael MelitoHOST
It's probably better steel, better edge retention, and better for processing deer than what Daniel Boone had.
Michael MelitoHOST
If we're being honest, what are they, $20, $40? Probably with inflation now $40, $50, but not a lot.
Brad HadleyGUEST
And, you know, I mean, I can remember killing a coon with that thing.
Brad HadleyGUEST
And I had an old neighbor lady that baked that thing, and I thought I was Daniel Boone.
Brad HadleyGUEST
It was just wonderful.
Brad HadleyGUEST
Me too! So we grew up doing these things, right? And so...
Zayd Ayers DohrnGUEST
And I spent a lot of time looking at those maps and trying to figure out why we were driving from this place to that place, where we were going.
Zayd Ayers DohrnGUEST
This particular road atlas, the Rand McNally Road Atlas from 1977, had these kind of hand-drawn cartoons of tourist families visiting sites of America, you know, Disneyland and the Alamo and Daniel Boone's Cabin, things like that.
Zayd Ayers DohrnGUEST
And I was fascinated by it because it showed this kind of vision of Americana that was very distinct from my family.
Zayd Ayers DohrnGUEST
I mean, in fact, when we visited sites when we were on road trips, they were usually... sites, memorials to kind of political causes, to injustice, you know, sites where people had been lynched or where leaders had been assassinated, sites of massacres.
EnriqueHOST
That's still on my bucket list to try to get a raccoon.
EnriqueHOST
Was it one of those Daniel Boone hats?
Jeremy NickelGUEST
I call them in a lot when I'm out night hunting.
Jeremy NickelGUEST
I don't mess with them at night.
Susan Brynne LongGUEST
So sorry about that.
Susan Brynne LongGUEST
But it is the American militia who were led by Daniel Boone.
Susan Brynne LongGUEST
Right.
Susan Brynne LongGUEST
So very famous frontiersmen.
