Rich, director of the Boone Trail association, was! present at the Durham high school' yesterday where he made a speech i relating the history of the highway t which reaches from the top of the } Blue Ridge in the western part of the 1 elate, to the ocean. The trail contin- 1 ues through the central part of the t state starting from the Blue Ridge and extends to the sea at Norfolk, Va It constitutes one of the most beau- i tiful routes in the state and has been < mapped by the American Automobile ? a Association. It is one of the most r important roads in the state. 5 In passing through the state, Daniel Boone, the great pioneer and set- 1 tier, passed through what is now DurIhani. soon after Fort Dobbs was built reaching Tidewater from the forks I of the Yadkin River, where he lived for a year or more. Reference to this f fact may be seen in Bruce's "History of Daniel Boone and the Wil- i derness trail,'* published b yMcMillan 1 in 1910. This old trail is aaid to have passed near Hillshoro over the Eno 1 River. It is also noted >n Lawrence's history, published in England in 17091 1 according to Mr. Rich. ?.
