<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 4675178, member: 7638"]NIce history lesson, Lee! I lookforward to the next installment. I think the only known portrait of Boone made while alive was done by Chester Harding in 1820, the year of Boone's death. Most of the full length portrait deteriorated, but the head, I believe is in the National Portrait Gallery. It's a 3/4 facing portrait, but rotating it in profile and dialing back the age, I think the coin has a reasonable resemblance to Boone as a young man.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
