In the colloquial English of my parents’ and grandparents’ generation, to call someone a ”berk” meant they were an unpleasant idiotic person; pronounced ”Burke”. Possibly coincidence, but who knows?

Such a great treatment of Boone! Appreciate the acknowledgement of what’s known fact and what’s speculation.

Why isn’t the author disappointed in the slave trade of the American Indians? They were the biggest owners of slaves in all of North America. And they only stopped when they went on the reservation. But, nooooooo, poor Daniel Boone has to be called out. Because he was white? How racist is that of the author? Haha

I live only about 20 minutes from the Boone homestead and have never been there.

Great podcast till you brought this blow bag nyc twit. Tell him to go carbon neutral till he tells us about climate change. Which the climate had always changed. Can’t wait till the mini ice age comes and froze his preaching .

Great series until you talked to this wuss from nyc. Who is he to chastise us about carbon footprint while he used hundreds of thousands of carbons getting to the South Pole to scratch is . I mean what hypocrisy . But typical of nyc. You ruined a great podcast series by this nyc twit. Let his dad take care of him now. Maybe rock him in his chair.

Stfu about your changing climate bullshit at the end. How much carbons did it take you to get to the South Pole? What an elitist climate ! You ruined a great podcast series and interview by having to bring this bs into the interview. And shame on the host for allowing this bs. Let’s be honest….when has not the climate changed? So will you be happy with a mini ice age again? Haha. What a . Go back to your nyc slum.

Some incredible similarities between this real life story and Master and Commander (book+film). The suicide of the bullied sailor, the inspired captain forcing sailors to eat sauerkraut to stop scurvy.

I am staring at a Gum Tree with an S carved into it by John Stuart McDougall in 1862 in Daly Waters NT Australia. You can still see it . Great story thanks for telling it. PS I also visted Attack Creek the spot where he was force back by the local tribe.
