Jan. :3-14: length, feet).—Daniel Boone, one of the most adventurous of all those "plotters of cIviHzarlon" to whose courage, en- durance and skill Ame riea owes so ranch, was torn in Virginia.

At the first opportun- ity he escaped and fought his way back to a settlement. Shortly after, while agent for a Carolina company, he built a fort on the site .now known es BooneR borough and here *ere fought the greatest Indian battles in the his- tory of that period. In 1777 the place was at- tacked several times by bands of Indians wbo were repulsed with heavy losses. On the 6th of Auenst. 1777. that famous battle of Boones- borongh was fought: 450 Indians led by Chief Blackfish and officered by French Canadian renegades attacked the fort. In spite of re- peated assaults, that little garrison of less than fifty men set at defiance Its enemies, wbo were finally obliged to return with heavy losses. Besides being famous as an Indian fighter, he was also noted as a successful hunter and trapper, which vocation be foIlo?QBd to almost the last few years of Ms life. He died a peaceful death in his son's home in 1822. sur- rounded by his children and grandchildren. In portraying this wonderful life, great pains have been taken to accurately reproduce the famous battles as well as locations mentioned in his- tory, and the result Is a magnificent production! of Indian and pioneer life, seldom " If ever : equalled in moving pictures.
