Daniel Boone Protects His Family.

In a romanticized nineteenth-century lithograph, Daniel Boone protects his wife and young son from an Indian brandishing a tomahawk. Boone became famous for his wilderness exploits, many of which never actually occurred or were embellishments of more modest events.
