    3. Hi The rifle of the noted Daniel Boone was a Kentucky Long Rifle; This firearm was about as noteworthy as Mr. Boone himself was. "This rifle became the primary weapon of the frontiersmen, especially in the then remote and dangerous wilds of Kentucky. This extensive use in Kentucky led to the adoption of the name "Kentucky" for this rifle. Daniel Boone carried a Kentucky Rifle through the Cumberland Gap." Quote taken from the Kentucky Explorer - Number 3, August 2001. A Short History Of The Kentucky Long Rifle. By James Clell Neace. Do you have information on Col Boone and his weapons? Carlis B.
