Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He was a modest, reasonably educated, good-natured fellow who rarely lost his temper and went out of his way to avoid conflict. And while he was inextricably connected to the settlement of Kentucky, the Boone family's base was Western North Carolina—and still is for hundreds of descendants.

Although he was famous as a militia leader, hunter and surveyor, Boone was not adept in business. By most reports he was an aggressive land speculator who often went heavily into debt to acquire property. Boone was also a slave owner, who at one point in his life owned as many as seven slaves.
