A collection of stories about Daniel Boone and his neighbors. A first hand account of the early pioneers in and around the greater St. Charles and St. Louis, Missouri area. This collection has been stored in my families basements for three generations. We found these and many other documents in several boxes with my Great Grandfathers name on it. It took over a year to get to this point.

Autorenporträt
Bryan And Barbara have been married for 47 years and have two wonderful children Sean and Dawn Broderick. Both Barb and Bryan were raised in St. Louis Missouri and the surrounding areas. The Broderick's and the Bryan's have a rich history in the area. The Broderick's emigrated from Ireland in 1840's, The Bryan's came from Ireland in the 1750's. Both the Bryan's and the Boone's fought in the revolutionary war under George Washington. Through the years Bryan Broderick enjoyed growing up with his father taking him to Gray Summit, MO. Where they cared for the family grave site and visited with the many relatives in the area. These were Bryan's Grandmothers people.. >Barb and I did not write these accounts of the early days of Missouri and Daniel Boone. These accounts were preserved by my Great Grandfather, some of the stories are first hand, but most are told to him by his father that lived with Daniel and Rebecca Boone. His father (My Great Great Grandfather Bryan was Daniel and Rebecca's favorite he owned the farm next to Boone's). These stories are told in the vernacular of the times. WE have made no attempt to change the language used in those times. This is how people spoke and referred to each other. There is great respect for people no matter their race. The pioneers valued you on merit, not the color of your skin. Within the same lifetime enemies became friends and neighbors. Everyone lived off the land and those that could not, were cared for as best could be by others. We stand to learn a great deal from the people in our past. If others don't destroy it.
