2nd Annual Dr. Edwin Arnold Daniel Boone Symposium
Want to know who the real Daniel Boone was, as well as his connections to this region? Join bestselling author, professor and historian Robert Morgan—author of the Oprah’s Book Club selection Gap Creek and New York Times bestseller Boone: A Biography—and award-winning author of In The Footsteps of Daniel Boone Randell Jones as the historical gurus talk about everything Boone with regional experts. Do you know Boone? Morgan and Randell will give presentations on Daniel Boone, revealing some secrets about the pioneer icon never before heard and describing Boone’s time in the High Country. After a short break for lunch—downtown walking maps will be provided for attendees, as well as materials for an historical scavenger hunt provided by Jones—the symposium will reconvene for a question and answer panel.
