Daniel Boone (1960)

In the first episode of Walt Disney's four-part miniseries based on the life of frontiersman Daniel Boone, a fast-talking salesman convinces Daniel (Dewey Martin), a North Carolina farmer, to pull up stakes and move to the ""promised land"" of Kentucky. Daniel, his wife Rebecca (Dewey Martin), and their friends are assured that if they travel along ""The Warrior's Path"", a secret Indian trail, their journey will be a safe one. Unfortunately, the Indians they encounter along the way aren't of the friendly variety.

In the second episode of Walt Disney's four-part miniseries based on the life of frontiersman Daniel Boone, it has been 12 years since Daniel (Dewey Martin and his wife Rebecca (Mala Powers) first journeyed from North Carolina to Kentucky. Now that he has children to raise and a larger farm to maintain, Daniel hankers for more ""elbow room""--so once again he packs up and prepares to head westward. First, however, the Boones are inexorably dragged into a local political crisis involving unfair taxation.

In the third episode of Walt Disney's four-part miniseries based on the life of frontiersman Daniel Boone, the Cumberland Gap has been successfully negotiated, and Daniel (Dewey Martin), his family, and a group of settlers are on their way to a permanent settlement in Kentucky. Unfortunately, the little band is attacked by Indian chief Crowfeather (Dean Fredericks), an old enemy of the Boones. Daniel is forced to postpone his westward journey in order to rescue his son from the boy's Indian captors.

In the concluding episode of Walt Disney's four-part miniseries based on the life of frontiersman Daniel Boone, several of the members of Boone's wagon train, angered when Daniel (Dewey Martin orders them to lighten their loads so that they can negotiate the mountains, have turned back to North Carolina. Only a tiny band of faithful followers remain with Daniel and his family as they begin the last leg of the arduous journey to Kentucky. Alas, once again the wagoneers are attacked by vengeance-seeking Indian chief Crowfeather (Dean Fredericks), who has a personal score to settle with Daniel.
