Cumberland Gap or "The Boone Quarter"

Anyone hear who the artist intended to portray on this quarter? Although Cumberland Gap was discovered in 1750 by Dr. Thomas Walker, Daniel Boone was hired in 1775 to blaze a trail through the gap. In addition, Daniel Boone is a prominent figure at the park and was in attendance at the quarter launch, dressed as portrayed on the quarter. I say from this point on, the quarter be known as the Boone Quarter.
