DANIEL BOONE. 191 pioneer. Here he lived in the midst of his posterity. His withered energies andlocks of snow, indicated that the sources of existence were nearly exhausted.He died of fever, at the house of his son-in-law, in Flanders,Calloway county. Mo.,in the year 1820, at the advanced age of 89 years. The legislature of Missouri wasin session at St. Louis when the event was announced; and a resolution was imme-diately passed, that, in respect for his memory, the members would wear the usualbadge of mourning for twenty days, and an adjournment was voted for that day. It has been generally supposed that Boone was illiterate, and could neitherread nor write, but this is an error. There is now in the possession of Mr. Jo-seph B. Boyd, of Maysville, an autograph letter of the old woodsman, a/ac simileof which is herewith published. The following vigorous and eloquent portrait of the character of the old pio-neer, is extracted from Gov. Moreheads address, delivered at Boonsborough, inc
