This is not so truly a dramatic picture as it is a pictorial biography of the famous Indian fighter and woodsman. There is, however, in the pictures of several of the episodes a good deal that is of high dramatic value and this makes the film a good offering for spectators seeking amusement. It has the added advantage of being instructive and gives what stands very well for the true story of the early settlements in the Cumberland Mountain region. There are two reels. The second reel pictures the beginnings of actual settlements in this region. The story, here, seems more of one piece and is more romantic. The first dealt chiefly with Boone himself; the second gives a good deal of space to Boone's children. There is a very good picture in it of the attack on the log fort at Booneville by Indians. An exhibitor will make no mistake by using this picture as a special attraction and advertising it as such for public school children and others who want instruction of an entertaining kind. - The Moving Picture World, January 27, 1912
