Daniel Boone played a significant role in the construction of the Wilderness Road, which opened the way for westward expansion into Kentucky in the 1760s and 1770s. He and his companions cleared the path through the Cumberland Gap for settlers seeking new opportunities. Boone's exploration and labor in creating this trail were crucial for the migration of many people into the wilderness.
