RV Update #3, Historical Clarification
May 22, 2006, Berea, KY
Dearest Readers,
Guess what Bobbi discovered at the bookstore while killing time waiting to see the DaVinci Code? Daniel Boone is not really buried in his gravesite immortalized in Frankfort, KY., and highlighted in RV Update #1. And, dear readers, we do not want to be part of perpetuating inaccurate historical info!!. According to the latest book, Daniel, got mad and left KY and pushed westward to Missouri, and took his wife. (His wife was commemorated as the cow milker on the gravestone, so he wouldn’t want to be without her since best Bobbi can tell, he was always out with the Indians and the bears, leaving Rebecca home to do the dirty work). Rebecca died (probably of fatigue) and was buried in Missouri, apparently in a teeny-tiny, crowded little cemetery. When Daniel died a few years later, he was placed at the foot of her grave, where there was room. Apparently, when they dug her up, they took the guy next to her, which turned out to be a large African American man, according to forensic experts in 1983.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Bobbi and Lee
