Wikipedia and Daniel Boone

I edited the wikipedia post on Daniel Boone. I added to his early life section by talking about his education briefly and about having to tend cattle as a ten year old boy. In addition, I also contributed the first two stories under folklore, which discussed him shooting a panther as a young boy and about punching some girls in the face.

I felt that they would be fun adds and are all accurate and well researched (he was part of my thesis).

Having talked about the “discussion” page of wikipedia. I have returned to the wikipedia article to answer people’s inquiries about a bibliography.  I may also comment on the tale of Daniel Boone almost mistakenly shooting his future wife but that will take a lot more time.  In short, the general story is popular, but I never read/heard about a deer having blue eyes.
