This was hi s second experience of this sort, having been uprooted from a Kentucky home as a young man when he and a sixteen year old bride followed his land-bereft father into Missouri at the turn of the nineteenth century. In fact, it is a sad historical ir ony that the Boones--several generations of them--probably blazed more new trails, discovered more new caves, springs and mountains, and walked over more unclaimed land than any other single family in American history, and wound up with very littl e of it for their trouble.nd geography of Missouri. Such places and place-names as Boonville, Boonsboro, Boone County, the Boone's Lic k Trail and the Boone's Lick Country mark their enterprises and explorations. And, prominent among the family' s cultural legacies, is this frontier homestead and log house near the town of Ash Grove, northwest of Springfield, which was home to Na than and his family for the last nineteen years of his strenuous life. Although never the subject of tall tales and sometimes fanciful biographies like his illustrious father, this son of Daniel Boone rivaled his father's contributions to the deve lopment of theAmerican frontier -- particularly with respect to Missouri.issouri in 1799 after Daniel the elder had lost his holdings in what is now West Virginia in a land-title dispute. The Boones had bee n drawn to Missouri by the promise of grants of land from the Spanish authorities. Daniel was given land in the beautiful Femme Osage Valley, and his sons and other relations secured neighboring grants.me late in his life when the land commission for the newly created Territory of Missouri refused to confirm his claim to the 1,000 arpents of land given him by the Spanish authorities. It too k an act of Congress in 1814 to give Daniel title to his land as an honorarium for the "arduous and useful services" rendered to his country. Unfortunately the good news about the land and his creditors from earlier land problems in Kentucky arriv ed almost simultaneously, and after the sale of his newly patented land he was left virtually penniless at the age of 80.one or another of his children, moving in with Nathan in 1820 on completion of Nathan's imposing two-story stone house on a hill overlooking the Femme Osage and his Spanish grant lands. It was in this new house tha t his famous father died later the same year, a circumstance that led it later to be called the "Daniel Boone Home." This beautiful house still stands and is operated by a private owner as a tourist attraction.

When Indian attacks on American settl ements were stirred up by British agents in the War of 1812, both Daniel M. and Nathan served as captains of companies of rangers formed by the U.S. Army to repel the attackers. Nathan's company was disbanded in 1815 and, until his return to milit ary service in 1832, he prospered in civilian life in St. Charles County, serving as a delegate to the constitutional convention held in St. Louis in 1820.and Sac Indians behind Chief Black Hawk took arms against a federal order to leave their lands in northern Illinois and Wisconsin, Nathan once again answered the call. He was at this time in midlife, 51 years of age. For the next twen ty years, Nathan's militaryservice was almost continuous, punctuated by occasional furloughs or leaves of absence. He was sent to Fort Gibson in Arkansas on recruiting service, and in 1834 joined the Pawnee expedition. It was probably during thi s period that he passed through and made note of the ash grove on the rolling Springfield plateau where he would one day move his family. Later he was stationed at Des Moines, Iowa, and led his dragoons on a campaign into Sioux territory. he had to make an adjustment in what must have seemed to be a recurrent family nightmare. In 1837 Nathan had to sell his beautiful home and all of his lands in St. Charles County to ret ire a debt he had acquired as bondsman for a friend who turned out to be less than trustworthy. The friend, a county official, had absconded with the county funds.airies of southwest Missouri, where some of his sons may already have filed on part of the property that became Nathan's last home. The financial disaster in St. Charles County no doubt precipitated the mo ve to the less grand accommodations of a log home on cheap prairie land. These prairies had remained largely unsettled by pioneers until a fairly late date owing to the common perception that a lack of trees indicated lesser fertility. The difficu lty of turning heavy prairie sod also made these lands less attractive until the availability of the steel plow invented by John Deere in 1838. probably looks today much as it did when Nathan fir st saw it, but with modem pasture grasses replacing the native prairie flora of those days. There are a few patches of trees along the creek and a few more marking the position of the several springs on the property and the family burial plot. On e is struck by the fact that the house sits very gently on the land, small in scale, and emphasizing the horizontal rather than the vertical as the landscape itself seems to do. The house is sited as good pioneer houses tended to be, so that it i s tucked under the brow of the low rise to the northwest,somewhat protected from the brunt of winter weather.stone mansion in the Femme Osage country.) Architectural historians would call this a double-pen log cabin. T hat is, the rooms are two log "boxes" separated by a center hallway or "dog trot," the whole covered by one roof. The passageway may have had open ends like a breezeway for some period after the house was constructed, but it is enclosed now. Ther e is a chimney and a fireplace at each end serving each of the two rooms. The facade of the house facing the hillside is plain, but the side facing to the southeast, toward the creek and down the valley, has a veranda. This veranda or porch is o f the variety that seems to be subtracted from the mass of the house and is thus under the main roof, rather than tacked on. and these survive intact on the protected wall under the veranda roof. These clapboards remind us once again of the care and importance that in past times was accorded small details , since each is beaded at its bottom edge. That is, a molding plane was applied by hand to every board individually so that its edge is finished with a rounded groove. Some of this siding may yet survive on the other side of the house also, but i t presently sports two -- possibly three -- complete layers of siding and architectural surgery will be required to determine if original material is buried under these modem repairs.ds under the veranda displays "A, B, C..." cut with a knife in styl e both antique and childlike. The alphabet is not complete, and we are left to wonder whether the child didn't know all of the letters, or whether we are seeing a moment of parental discovery and angst, frozen in time. In any case this small bit o f graffiti reminds us that the Boones-- suspended somewhere between myth and legend -- were really people too. stunning as you realize the original fireplace mantles, doors, and woodwork tri m are in place, and all demonstrate the care and precision of handmade work.

The purpose of this little room, perhaps eight feet square, is uncertain, but its construction is interesting.

From Fort Gibson he led three companie s of dragoons on a 79-day horseback reconnaissance over the western prairies and up the Arkansas River to provide protection for traders using the Santa Fe Trail. He was 63 years old. After a furlough, he rejoined his company in 1845 and set up ca mp at Evansville on the Arkansas line, assigned "to preserve the peace among the Cherokee," who recently had been herded by the army from homelands in Georgia to Indian territory in Oklahoma.worth and by now a major, Nathan took sick leave September 9, 1848, and returned to his home at Ash Grove.

In 1805, with his brother Daniel Morgan, he opened the salt-making business that would immortalize the Boone name in mid-Missouri. Though his stint as frontier entrepreneur was short, the location of his saltworks, near Boonville, would be known as the Boone's Lick for years to come. The Boone's Lick Road, on which the brothers moved their supplies and finished product, would become a major thoroughfare in early Missouri., Boone helped lay out some of Missouri's first roadways.

In 1833, he was made a captain of dragoons, a military regiment at the time, and was stationed at Fort Gibson in Oklahoma.

After procuring as much meat as they could pack upon their horses, they set out on their return home and came to a large deer lick near the bank of a creek at which to rest themselves. They were scarcely seated on the bank when a deer walked into the lick. Edward Boone shot it down and dragged it into the shade, where my father sat cracking walnuts. Just at that moment a party of Indians fired upon them from a neighboring canebrake. Edward fell dead; my father, Daniel Boone, sprang to his horse and attempted to throw off the load from his horse which he did not affect, for the Indians rushed out so suddenly that he was compelled to take to immediate flight on foot. In the bustle he lost his knife. Finding himself closely followed by the savages, he entered a canebrake, which concealed him from their sight; they then pursued him with their dogs, and it was not until he killed two of these that the Indians abandoned the chase. The knife remained lost until the summer of 1822, at which time some persons drawing a seine in the creek brought it up from the bottom, immediately at the lick alluded to. This creek and lick are in Clark County, Kentucky.
