Was Daniel Boone the first white person to ever see Kentucky?

Answer 1

Absolutely not.
Many white hunter/trappers had been there seeking the area's natural resources which they then returned for sale to the better populated colonies.
The first white people to attempt to put down roots were invariably those who were running away from something or someone, i.e. indentured servants, Scotsmen fleeing the Crown, etc. They went as far away from "civilization" as they could in an attempt to be free.
We also can't forget the white women who were kidnapped by the various Native tribes and taken to the backcountry against their will. (I don't blame them - it WAS their land.)
That area, including the Western portions of the Carolinas, was basically settled by enemies of the Crown.

Answer 2

Not likely. Boone was famous for opening Kentucky to expanded white settlement, and leading large groups of settlers there. History does not record who is the first white person to set foot there.

Answer 3

Boone had heard about the fertile land and abundant game of Kentucky from fellow wagoner John Findley, who had visited Kentucky to trade with American Indians

So , no he was not the first one.

Answer 4

Yep, while i replaced right into a new child my brother and that i used to play Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, i replaced into Dan and we would combat on the Alamo. He had a coonskin cap that's why he replaced into constantly Davy.

Answer 5

No...he was the first to come back and let people know about it and try and bring settlers to the area. A few had been there previously trapping and hunting.

Answer 6

Unlikely I think.

Answer 7

uh, no
