Daniel Boone Comes to the Fall Sportman's Breakfast

On Sat., September 13th, Mark Sage came to speak as Daniel Boone at the Fall Sportsman's Breakfast. The morning started out with a hearty breakfast of pancakes, sausage, juice, coffee and milk. After eating, Mark explained about the myths and facts about Daniel Boone, and how much of our ideas are formed by the television and movies we've watched about Daniel Boone.


Mark had quotes from Daniel Boone himself, showing that he was a born again Christian. Daniel Boone expressed his love for his Lord and based his salvation on Jesus Christ.


Daniel outlived his wife and seven of their children. His faith in God helped him through those trials.


During Daniel's travels from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, over the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky, to Missouri, and a trip to the Yellowstone Country, he brought his Bible and Gulliver's Travels.


Mark brought many items to show the group, so they could better understand life on the frontier. He also showed a movie about loading and firing a flintlock rifle. Mark has used his flintlock to take bear, deer, and grouse.
