Long before the West was explored to its fullest, the frontiersman Daniel Boone had a powerful need to expand westward. He wanted to see over the mountain into Kentucky Territory. This was an unexplored wilderness on the westward side of the Cumberland Mountains. It was a secret Indian Territory were the buffalo are many. A traveling peddler tells Mr. Boone of a way to get there through the mountains. So Boone sets out. He finally discovers the unexplored garden-like valley with his large family of sons. He opens a land rush for the eventual westward movement of Eastern seaboard settlers.
