This drama from Republic Pictures recounts the life history of Daniel Boone, played by Bruce Bennett. The story begins in 1775, as the Revolutionary War is just starting along the Atlantic seaboard. A backwoods adventurer named Daniel Boone ventures into the wilderness. He eventually decides to lead a party of settlers over the Cumberland Pass to establish a trading outpost on the western side of the Appalachian Mountains. His group soon encounters conflict with a local tribal leader (Lon Chaney), but ultimately both sides reconcile their differences and make peace. Albert C. Gannaway and Ismael Rodriguez co-directed this historical drama.
