Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The show runs into this a lot, so much so that the state legislature of Kentucky complained about it.
** Firstly, Daniel wasn't as tall as Fess Parker made him out to be; he was only 5'8 (or around average height for a man).
** In real life, Daniel Boone was captured by British forces three years after the founding of Boonesborough. He escaped, alerted the residents that attacks were coming, left the town and never returned. Now consider that the show has six seasons.
** In the show, Daniel had two or three children, with Israel being the only one of any importance. In real life, Daniel had ten children.
** The show's Daniel Boone wore a coonskin cap, carried over from when Fess Parker played Davy Crockett. The real Daniel Boone never wore one, usually wearing a beaver hat instead.
** In the show, Boone interacts with the Cherokee several times while in Boonesborough, in northern Kentucky. The Cherokee never lived anywhere in Kentucky.

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Daniel Boone may be a loving husband and father, but ''do not'' think you can take advantage of him. Mingo is no pushover either, Oxford-educated he may be. He still knows how to fight when necessary.

Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: Daniel is one of these. Mingo and Gabe Cooper also fall into this category from time to time.
* FieryRedhead: Rebecca Boone had her moments.
* GentleGiant: Gabe. One of the biggest and tallest characters in the series.


Added DiffLines:

* HappilyMarried: Daniel and Rebecca Boone. True they have the occasional arguments, but they rarely erupt into anything to serious.
