    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.
