Abstract:
Daniel Boone came to western North Carolina in 1752 at the age of eighteen and remained there for twenty-one years. On August 14, 1756, he married Rebecca Bryan, a marriage that would last fifty-seven years. In 2006, each of the sites in the state associated with him are holding special events in his honor. Living history reenactments, family festivals, exhibits, and trade fairs are planned for Salisbury, Boone, Wilkesboro, Statesville, Bethabara, and Boone's Cave Park.
