Summary "Boone's Wilderness Road" by Archer Butler Hulbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It explores the significant route established by Daniel Boone and its impact on westward expansion in what is now the United States. The narrative likely focuses on the early settlers, led by figures like Boone, and the challenges they faced as they pushed into the uncharted territories of Kentucky and beyond. The opening of this work outlines the historical context surrounding Boone's Wilderness Road, discussing the territorial claims of Virginia and the various social forces that contributed to the westward expansion. It details how despite restrictions on settlement imposed by the British government, individuals like Daniel Boone would become pivotal in traversing the Wilderness Road, enabling a mass migration of settlers seeking fertile lands and new opportunities in Kentucky. The beginning sets the stage for an exploration of early American history, highlighting the complex interplay of ambition, territorial disputes, and the adventures of those who ventured into the wilderness.
