Content: Written on border: "Oct. 1859" Printed on border: "Daniel Boone. By Benson J. Lossing. Daniel Boone has ever been regarded more as a great hunter, than as a bold and enlightened pioneer in the grand Westward march of civilization in America. This is a grave error, deeply impressed upon the popular mind, and yet there is ample excuse for it." Includes additional text.
