CAVALCADE OF AMERICA: DANIEL BOONE (APRIL 16, 1940)

 Today is the birthday of American pioneer Danile Boone (1734-1820).  It seems like and apropriate imte to post this episode of Cavalcade of America, "adapted from material suggested by7 the distinquished Americab author Marquius James, featuring John McIntyre as Daniel Boone.  Basil Ruysdael is the announcer.

Cavalcade of America aired on the radio from 1935 to 1932, and on television from 1952 to 1957.  The program sponsor was the DuPont Company, which used the series to promote its "better living through chemistry" philosophy.  The show emphasized the triumph of the American spirit through its dramatized episodes.

Happy birthday, Daniel!
