– Go “In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone” with
award-winning author and storyteller Randell Jones at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March
12, at the Asheboro Public Library.

merchant and more — and spent 21 years in North Carolina.

Jones
will trace the life of Boone by placing
Boone’s adventures on the landscape and taking the audience to some of the 85
sites across 11 states, from Pennsylvania to Missouri, where the pioneer hero
left his mark.
“In the
Footsteps of Daniel Boone” is based on Jones’s book by the same name. Jones,
who lives in Winston-Salem, also is author of Scoundrels, Rogues and Heroes of the Old North State, Before They Were Heroes at Kings Mountain,
and several other titles about the pioneer era and the American Revolution.
Jones’s
appearance, part of the Road Scholar series, is made possible by funding from
the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide non-profit and affiliate of
the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Friends of the Library.
