'''''Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall''''' is the working title for a [[massively multiplayer online game]] currently in production. It is being developed by [[Cartoon Network]] and Grigon Entertainment and will contain features related to [[Cartoon Network]] programs. There will be free game play but [[Cartoon Network]] isn't announcing all the details just yet. Details about cost will be revealed at a later date. It was scheduled to be released in Summer 2008, but since April 19, 2008 they have changed the opening to Fall of 2008.
'''Daniel Boone''' ({{OldStyleDate|November 2|1734|October 22}}&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;September 26, 1820) was an [[American pioneer]] and [[hunting|hunter]] whose frontier exploits made him one of the first [[Folklore of the United States|folk heroes]] of the [[United States]]. Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now the U.S. state of [[Kentucky]], which was then beyond the western borders of the [[Thirteen Colonies]]. Despite resistance from [[Native Americans in the United States|American Indians]], for whom Kentucky was a traditional hunting ground, in 1775 Boone blazed the [[Wilderness Road]] through the [[Cumberland Gap]] and into Kentucky. There he founded [[Boonesborough, Kentucky|Boonesborough]], one of the first English-speaking settlements beyond the [[Appalachian Mountains]]. Before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered Kentucky by following the route marked by Boone.<ref>For number of people, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 351.</ref>
== Plot ==
Planet Fusion has traveled throughout the galaxy for millennia in which devastated countless planets and civilizations, and the next target will be the planet [[Earth]], specifically the Cartoon Network universe. Now the player (which is an original avatar determined by the user) must subscribe and with a few helping hands, that force can be destroyed.


Characters from various Cartoon Network shows appear in the game, redesigned in an [[anime]] style by Mario F. Piedra. In addition, small, miniaturized versions of Cartoon Network characters are collected along the way and travel with players, providing powers and abilities to assist during missions. There will also be a [[manga]] tie-in, co-written by Matthew Schwartz and Piedra. Soon in Fall, people found out that [[Cartoon Network]] partnered with two other companies. One company was making the game browserbased, and the other company made a new security system. This made Fusion Fall delayed to the end of 2008, December. The official date is yet to be announced. <ref> [http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=18310]</ref>

{| class="wikitable"
Boone was a [[Militia (United States)|militia]] officer during the [[American Revolutionary War]] (1775–1783), which in Kentucky was fought primarily between settlers and [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]]-allied American Indians. Boone was captured by [[Shawnee]]s in 1778 and adopted into the tribe, but he escaped and continued to help defend the Kentucky settlements. He was elected to the first of his three terms in the [[Virginia General Assembly]] during the war, and fought in the [[Battle of Blue Licks]] in 1782, one of the last battles of the American Revolution. Boone worked as a surveyor and merchant after the war, but he went deep into debt as a Kentucky land speculator. Frustrated with legal problems resulting from his land claims, in 1799 Boone resettled in [[Missouri]], where he spent his final years.

Boone remains an iconic, if imperfectly remembered, figure in American history. He was a legend in his own lifetime, especially after an account of his adventures was published in 1784, making him famous in America and Europe. After his death, he was frequently the subject of tall tales and works of fiction. His adventures&mdash;real and legendary&mdash;were influential in creating the archetypal Western hero of American folklore. In American popular culture, he is remembered as one of the foremost early frontiersmen, even though the mythology often overshadows the historical details of his life.<ref>For overview of Boone as early folk hero and American icon, as well as his enduring fame and the confusion of myth and history, see Lofaro, ''American Life'', 180–83.</ref>

Daniel Boone was born on October 22, 1734. Because the [[Gregorian calendar]] was adopted during Boone's lifetime, his birth date is sometimes given as November 2, 1734 (the [[Old Style and New Style dates|"New Style" date]]), although Boone used the October date.<ref>Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 7.</ref> He was the sixth of eleven children in a family of [[Religious Society of Friends|Quakers]]. His father, [[Squire Boone, Sr.]] (1696–1765), had immigrated to Pennsylvania from the small town of [[Bradninch]], [[Devon]], [[England]] in 1713. Squire Boone's parents [[George Boone|George]] and Mary Boone followed their son to Pennsylvania in 1717. In 1720, Squire, who worked primarily as a weaver and a blacksmith, married Sarah Morgan (1700–1777), whose family members were Quakers from [[Wales]], and settled in [[Towamencin Township, Pennsylvania| Towamencin Township]], [[Pennsylvania]] in 1708. In 1731, the Boones built a [[log cabin]] in the [[Oley Valley]], now the [[Daniel Boone Homestead]] in [[Berks County, Pennsylvania]], where Daniel was born.

Daniel Boone spent his early years on what was then the western edge of the [[Pennsylvania]] frontier. There were a number of [[Native Americans in the United States|American Indian]] villages nearby. The pacifist Pennsylvania [[Quakers]] generally had good relations with the Indians, but the steady growth of the white population compelled many Indians to relocate further west. Boone received his first [[rifle]] in 1747 and picked up hunting skills from local whites and Indians, beginning his lifelong love of hunting. [[Folklore of the United States|Folk tales]] often emphasized Boone's skills as a hunter. In one story, the young Boone is hunting in the woods with some other boys. The scream of a [[Cougar|panther]] scatters the boys, except for Boone, who calmly cocks his [[squirrel]] gun and shoots the animal through the heart just as it leaps at him. As with so many tales about Boone, the story may or may not be true, but it was told so often that it became part of the popular image of the man.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 9.</ref>

In Boone's youth, his family became a source of controversy in the local Quaker community. In 1742, Boone's parents were compelled to publicly apologize after their eldest child Sarah married John Wilcoxson, a "worldling" (non-Quaker), while she was visibly pregnant. When Boone's oldest brother Israel also married a "worldling" in 1747, Squire Boone stood by his son and was therefore expelled from the Quakers, although his wife continued to attend monthly meetings with her children. Perhaps as a result of this controversy, in 1750 Squire sold his land and moved the family to [[North Carolina]]. Daniel Boone did not attend church again, although he considered himself a Christian and had all of his children [[baptism|baptized]]. The Boones eventually settled on the [[Yadkin River]], in what is now [[Davie County, North Carolina]], about two miles (3&nbsp;km) west of [[Mocksville, North Carolina|Mocksville]].<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 25–27; Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 16–17. For baptizing children, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 311.</ref>

Because he spent so much time hunting in his youth, Boone received little formal education. According to one family tradition, a schoolteacher once expressed concern over Boone's education, but Boone's father was unconcerned, saying "let the girls do the spelling and Dan will do the shooting…." Boone received some tutoring from family members, though his spelling remained unorthodox. Historian John Mack Faragher cautions that the folk image of Boone as semiliterate is misleading, however, arguing that Boone "acquired a level of literacy that was the equal of most men of his times." Boone regularly took reading material with him on his hunting expeditions—the [[Bible]] and ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' were favorites—and he was often the only literate person in groups of frontiersmen. Boone would sometimes entertain his hunting companions by reading to them around the evening campfire.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 16–17, 55–6, 83.</ref>

==Hunter, husband, and soldier==
As a young man, Boone served with the British military during the [[French and Indian War]] (1754–1763), a struggle for control of the land beyond the [[Appalachian Mountains]]. In 1755, he was a wagon driver in General [[Edward Braddock]]'s attempt to drive the French out of the [[Ohio Country]], which ended in disaster at the [[Braddock expedition|Battle of the Monongahela]]. Boone returned home after the defeat, and on August 14, 1755, he married [[Rebecca Boone|Rebecca Bryan]], a neighbor in the Yadkin Valley. The couple initially lived in a cabin on his father's farm. They would eventually have ten children.

In 1759, a conflict erupted between British colonists and [[Cherokee]] Indians, their former allies in the French and Indian War. After the Yadkin Valley was raided by Cherokees, many families, including the Boones, fled to [[Culpeper County, Virginia]]. Boone served in the North Carolina militia during this [[Anglo-Cherokee War|"Cherokee Uprising"]], and his hunting expeditions deep into Cherokee territory beyond the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]] separated him from his wife for about two years. According to one story, Boone was gone for so long that Rebecca assumed he was dead, and began a relationship with his brother Edward ("Ned"), giving birth to daughter Jemima in 1762. Upon his return, the story goes, his wife reproved him saying, "You'd had better have stayed home and got it yourself." Boone was understanding and did not blame Rebecca. Whatever the truth of the tale, Boone raised Jemima as his own and favourite child. Boone's early biographers knew this story, but did not publish it.<ref>For the story about Jemima's birth, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 58–62. Faragher notes that Lyman Draper collected the information but did not put it in his manuscript. Bakeless mentions only that, "There are some very queer—and probably slanderous—tales about Rebecca herself"; ''Master of the Wilderness'', 29.</ref>

Boone's chosen profession also made for long absences from home. He supported his growing family in these years as a market [[hunting|hunter]]. Almost every autumn, Boone would go on [[Longhunter|"long hunts"]], which were extended expeditions into the wilderness lasting weeks or months. Boone would go on long hunts alone or with a small group of men, accumulating hundreds of deer skins in the autumn, and then trapping beaver and otter over the winter. The long hunters would return in the spring and sell their take to commercial [[fur trade]]rs. In this business, buckskins came to be known as "bucks", which is the origin of the American slang term for "[[dollar]]."<ref>For market hunting, see Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 38–39.</ref>

Frontiersmen often carved messages on trees or wrote their names on cave walls, and Boone's name or initials have been found in many places. One of the best-known inscriptions was carved into a tree in present [[Washington County, Tennessee]] which reads "D. Boon Cilled a. Bar [killed a bear] on [this] tree in the year 1760". A similar carving is preserved in the museum of the [[Filson Historical Society]] in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], which reads "D. Boon Kilt a Bar, 1803." However, because Boone spelled his name with the final "e", and the inconsistency of an 1803 date east of the Mississippi after Boone moved to Missouri in 1799, these particular inscriptions may be forgeries, part of a long tradition of phony Boone relics.<ref>For doubts about tree carvings, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 57–58; Belue's notes in Draper, ''Life of Daniel Boone'',163, 286; Elliott, ''Long Hunter'', 12. For historians who do not doubt the tree carvings, see Lofaro, ''American Life'', 18; Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 33. Faragher and Belue generally question traditional stories more than Bakeless, Elliott, and Lofaro.</ref>

In 1762 Boone and his wife and four children moved back to the Yadkin Valley from Culpeper. By mid-1760s, with peace made with the Cherokees, immigration into the area increased, and Boone began to look for a new place to settle, as competition decreased the amount of game available for hunting. This meant that Boone had difficulty making ends meet; he was often taken to court for nonpayment of debts, and he sold what land he owned to pay off creditors. After his father's death in 1765, Boone traveled with his brother Squire and a group of men to [[Florida]], which had become British territory after the end of the war, to look into the possibility of settling there. According to a family story, Boone purchased land in [[Pensacola, Florida|Pensacola]], but Rebecca refused to move so far away from friends and family. The Boones instead moved to a more remote area of the Yadkin Valley, and Boone began to hunt westward into the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]].<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 62–66.</ref>

Boone first reached Kentucky in the fall of 1767 when on a long hunt with his brother [[Squire Boone|Squire Boone, Jr.]] While on the Braddock expedition years earlier, Boone had heard about the fertile land and abundant game of Kentucky from fellow wagoner John Findley, who had visited Kentucky to trade with American Indians. In 1768, Boone and Findley happened to meet again, and Findley encouraged Boone with more tales of Kentucky. At the same time, news had arrived about the [[Treaty of Fort Stanwix]], in which the [[Iroquois]] had ceded their claim to Kentucky to the British. This, as well as the unrest in North Carolina due to the [[War of the Regulation|Regulator movement]], likely prompted Boone to extend his exploration.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 69–74. According to some versions of the story, Findley specifically sought out Boone in 1768, but Faragher believes it more likely that their second meeting was by chance.</ref>

In May 1769, Boone began a two-year hunting expedition in Kentucky. On 22 December 1769, he and a fellow hunter were captured by a party of [[Shawnee]]s, who confiscated all of their skins and told them to leave and never return. The Shawnees had not signed the Stanwix treaty, and since they regarded Kentucky as their hunting ground, they considered white hunters there to be [[poaching|poachers]]. Boone, however, continued hunting and exploring Kentucky until his return to North Carolina in 1771, and returned to hunt there again in the autumn of 1772.

On 25 September 1773, Boone packed up his family and, with a group of about 50 emigrants, began the first attempt by British colonists to establish a settlement in Kentucky. Boone was still an obscure hunter and trapper at the time; the most prominent member of the expedition was [[William Russell (Virginia)|William Russell]], a well-known Virginian and future brother-in-law of [[Patrick Henry]]. On October 9, Boone's eldest son James and a small group of men and boys who had left the main party to retrieve supplies were attacked by a band of [[Lenape|Delawares]], Shawnees, and Cherokees. Following the Treaty of Fort Stanwix, American Indians in the region had been debating what to do about the influx of settlers. This group had decided, in the words of historian John Mack Faragher, "to send a message of their opposition to settlement…." James Boone and William Russell's son Henry were captured and gruesomely tortured to death. The brutality of the killings sent shock waves along the frontier, and Boone's party abandoned its expedition.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 89–96, quote on 93.</ref>

The massacre was one of the first events in what became known as [[Dunmore's War]], a struggle between Virginia and primarily Shawnees of the Ohio Country for control of what is now West Virginia and Kentucky. In the summer of 1774, Boone volunteered to travel with a companion to Kentucky to notify surveyors there about the outbreak of war. The two men journeyed more than {{convert|800|mi|km}} in two months in order to warn those who had not already fled the region. Upon his return to Virginia, Boone helped defend colonial settlements along the [[Clinch River]], earning a promotion to captain in the militia as well as acclaim from fellow citizens. After the brief war, which ended soon after Virginia's victory in the [[Battle of Point Pleasant]] in October 1774, Shawnees relinquished their claims to Kentucky.<ref>For Boone in Dunmore's War, see Lofaro, ''American Life'', 44–49; Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 98–106.</ref>

Following Dunmore's War, [[Richard Henderson (American pioneer)|Richard Henderson]], a prominent judge from North Carolina, hired Boone to travel to the Cherokee towns in present North Carolina and [[Tennessee]] and inform them of an upcoming meeting. In the 1775 treaty, Henderson purchased the Cherokee claim to Kentucky in order to establish a colony called [[Transylvania (colony)|Transylvania]]. Afterwards, Henderson hired Boone to blaze what became known as the [[Wilderness Road]], which went through the [[Cumberland Gap]] and into central Kentucky. Along with a party of about thirty workers, Boone marked a path to the [[Kentucky River]], where he established [[Boonesborough, Kentucky|Boonesborough]]. Other settlements, notably [[Harrodsburg, Kentucky|Harrodsburg]], were also established at this time. Despite occasional Indian attacks, Boone returned to the Clinch Valley and brought his family and other settlers to Boonesborough on 8 September 1775.<ref>When exactly Henderson hired Boone has been a matter of speculation by historians. Some have argued that Boone's first expeditions into Kentucky might have been financed by Henderson in exchange for information about potential places for settlement, while Boone's descendants believed Henderson did not hire Boone until 1774. For doubts that Henderson hired Boone before 1774, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 74–76, 348.</ref>

==American Revolution==
Violence in Kentucky increased with the outbreak of the [[American Revolutionary War]] (1775–1783). Native Americans who were unhappy about the loss of Kentucky in treaties saw the war as a chance to drive out the colonists. Isolated settlers and hunters became the frequent target of attacks, convincing many to abandon Kentucky. By late spring of 1776, fewer than 200 colonists remained in Kentucky, primarily at the fortified settlements of Boonesborough, Harrodsburg, and [[Logan's Station]].<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 130.</ref>

[[Image:Boone rescue.jpg|thumb|This 1877 illustration, entitled ''The rescue of Jemima Boone and Betsey and Fanny Callaway, kidnapped by Indians in July 1776'', is one of many depictions of the famous event.]]

On 14 July 1776, Boone's daughter Jemima and two other teenage girls were [[Capture and rescue of Jemima Boone|captured outside Boonesborough]] by an Indian war party, who carried the girls north towards the Shawnee towns in the Ohio country. Boone and a group of men from Boonesborough followed in pursuit, finally catching up with them two days later. Boone and his men ambushed the Indians while they were stopped for a meal, rescuing the girls and driving off their captors. The incident became the most celebrated event of Boone's life. [[James Fenimore Cooper]] created a fictionalized version of the episode in his classic book ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'' (1826).<ref>For Boone's influence on James Fenimore Cooper, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 331; Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 139.</ref>

In 1777, [[Henry Hamilton]], a British Lieutenant Governor of Canada, began to recruit American Indian war parties to raid the Kentucky settlements. On 24 April, Shawnees led by [[Chief Blackfish]] attacked Boonesborough. Boone was shot in the ankle while outside the fort, but he was carried back inside the fort amid a flurry of bullets by [[Simon Kenton]], a recent arrival at Boonesborough. Kenton became Boone's close friend as well as a legendary frontiersman in his own right.

While Boone recovered, Shawnees kept up their attacks outside Boonesborough, destroying the surrounding cattle and crops. With the food supply running low, the settlers needed salt to preserve what meat they had, and so in January 1778 Boone led a party of thirty men to the salt springs on the [[Licking River (Kentucky)|Licking River]]. On 7 February 1778, when Boone was hunting meat for the expedition, he was surprised and captured by warriors led by Blackfish. Because Boone's party was greatly outnumbered, he convinced his men to surrender rather than put up a fight.

Blackfish wanted to continue to Boonesborough and capture it, since it was now poorly defended, but Boone convinced him that the women and children were not hardy enough to survive a winter trek. Instead, Boone promised that Boonesborough would surrender willingly to the Shawnees the following spring. Boone did not have an opportunity to tell his men that he was bluffing in order to prevent an immediate attack on Boonesborough, however. Boone pursued this strategy so convincingly that many of his men concluded that he had switched his loyalty to the British.

[[Image:Boone adoption.png|thumb|left|Illustration of Boone's ritual adoption by the Shawnees, from ''Life & Times of Col. Daniel Boone'', by Cecil B. Hartley (1859)]]

Boone and his men were taken to Blackfish's town of [[Chalahgawtha|Chillicothe]] where they were made to [[running the gauntlet|run the gauntlet]]. As was their custom, the Shawnees adopted some of the prisoners into the tribe to replace fallen warriors; the remainder were taken to Hamilton in Detroit. Boone was adopted into a Shawnee family at Chillicothe, perhaps into the family of Chief Blackfish himself, and given the name ''Sheltowee'' ("Big Turtle"). On 16 June 1778, when he learned that Blackfish was about to return to Boonesborough with a large force, Boone eluded his captors and raced home, covering the {{convert|160|mi|km}} to Boonesborough in five days on horseback and, after his horse gave out, on foot.<ref>Boone biographers write that Boone was adopted by the chief, but see [[Chief Blackfish]] for doubts.</ref>

During Boone's absence, his wife and children (except for Jemima) had returned to North Carolina, fearing that he was dead. Upon his return to Boonesborough, some of the men expressed doubts about Boone's loyalty, since after surrendering the salt making party he had apparently lived quite happily among the Shawnees for months. Boone responded by leading a preemptive raid against the Shawnees across the Ohio River, and then by helping to successfully defend Boonesborough against a [[siege of Boonesborough|10-day siege]] led by Blackfish, which began on 7 September 1778.

After the siege, Captain [[Benjamin Logan]] and Colonel [[Richard Callaway]]—both of whom had nephews who were still captives surrendered by Boone—brought charges against Boone for his recent activities. In the [[court-martial]] that followed, Boone was found "not guilty" and was even promoted after the court heard his testimony. Despite this vindication, Boone was humiliated by the court-martial, and he rarely spoke of it.<ref>For court-martial, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 199–202; Lofaro, ''American Life'', 105–106.</ref>

After the trial, Boone returned to North Carolina in order to bring his family back to Kentucky. In the autumn of 1779, a large party of emigrants came with him, including (according to tradition) the family of [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s grandfather.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 203, writes without qualification that the Lincolns joined Boone on this trip, while Lofaro calls it a tradition. Other sources give a later date for the Lincoln migration; see [[Abraham Lincoln (captain)|Captain Abraham Lincoln]].</ref> Rather than remain in Boonesborough, Boone founded the nearby settlement of [[Boone's Station]]. Boone began earning money at this time by locating good land for other settlers. Transylvania land claims had been invalidated after Virginia created [[Kentucky County, Virginia|Kentucky County]], and so settlers needed to file new land claims with Virginia. In 1780, Boone collected about $20,000 in cash from various settlers and traveled to [[Williamsburg, Virginia|Williamsburg]] to purchase their land warrants. While he was sleeping in a tavern during the trip, the cash was stolen from his room. Some of the settlers forgave Boone the loss; others insisted that he repay the stolen money, which took him several years to do.

A popular image of Boone which emerged in later years is that of the backwoodsman who had little affinity for "civilized" society, moving away from places like Boonesborough when they became "too crowded". In reality, however, Boone was a leading citizen of Kentucky at this time. When Kentucky was divided into three Virginia counties in November 1780, Boone was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the [[Fayette County, Kentucky|Fayette County]] militia. In April 1781, Boone was elected as a representative to the [[Virginia General Assembly]], which was held in Richmond. In 1782, he was elected sheriff of Fayette County.<ref>For Boone as a leading citizen, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 206.</ref>

Meanwhile, the American Revolutionary War continued. Boone joined General [[George Rogers Clark]]'s invasion of the Ohio country in 1780, fighting in the [[Battle of Piqua]] on 7 August. In October, when Boone was hunting with his brother Ned, Shawnees shot and killed Ned. Apparently thinking that they had killed Daniel Boone, the Shawnees beheaded Ned and took the head home as a trophy. In 1781, Boone traveled to Richmond to take his seat in the legislature, but British dragoons under [[Banastre Tarleton]] captured Boone and several other legislators near [[Charlottesville, Virginia|Charlottesville]]. The British released Boone on parole several days later. During Boone's term, [[Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis|Cornwallis]] surrendered at [[Siege of Yorktown|Yorktown]] in October 1781, but the fighting continued in Kentucky unabated. Boone returned to Kentucky and in August 1782 fought in the [[Battle of Blue Licks]], in which his son Israel was killed. In November 1782, Boone took part in another Clark expedition into Ohio, the last major campaign of the war.

==Businessman on the Ohio==
After the Revolution, Boone resettled in Limestone (renamed [[Maysville, Kentucky]] in 1786), then a booming Ohio River port. In 1787, he was elected to the Virginia state assembly as a representative from [[Bourbon County, Kentucky|Bourbon County]]. In Maysville, he kept a tavern and worked as a surveyor, horse trader, and land speculator. He was initially prosperous, owning seven [[history of slavery in the United States|slaves]] by 1787, a relatively large number for Kentucky at the time, which was dominated by small farms rather than large plantations. Boone became something of a celebrity while living in Maysville: in 1784, on Boone's 50th birthday, historian [[John Filson]] published ''The Discovery, Settlement And present State of Kentucke'', a book which included a chronicle of Boone's adventures.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 235–37.</ref>

Although the Revolutionary War had ended, the border war with American Indians north of the Ohio River soon resumed. In September 1786, Boone took part in a military expedition into the Ohio Country led by Benjamin Logan. Back in Limestone, Boone housed and fed Shawnees who were captured during the raid and helped to negotiate a truce and prisoner exchange. Although the [[Northwest Indian War]] escalated and would not end until the American victory at the [[Battle of Fallen Timbers]] in 1794, the 1786 expedition was the last time Boone saw military action.<ref>For border war and prisoner exchanges, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 249–58. Most Boone biographers tell a story of [[Blue Jacket]], the Shawnee chief, escaping while in Boone's custody in Maysville, and raise the possibility that Boone intentionally let the chief escape because the two men were friends. According to the scholarly biography of Blue Jacket, however, the chief escaped at a later time: see John Sugden, ''Blue Jacket: Warrior of the Shawnees'' (University of Nebraska Press, 2000), 82.</ref>

[[Image:Boone by Chappel.jpg|thumb|This engraving by Alonzo Chappel (c. 1861) depicts an elderly Boone hunting in Missouri.]]

Boone began to have financial troubles while living in Maysville. According to the later folk image, Boone the trailblazer was too unsophisticated for the civilization which followed him and which eventually defrauded him of his land. Boone was not the simple frontiersman of legend, however: he engaged in land speculation on a large scale, buying and selling claims to tens of thousands of acres. The land market in frontier Kentucky was chaotic, and Boone's ventures ultimately failed because his investment strategy was faulty and because his sense of honor made him reluctant to profit at someone else's expense. According to Faragher, "Boone lacked the ruthless instincts that speculation demanded."<ref>For analysis of Boone's land speculation failures, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 245–48.</ref>

Frustrated with the legal hassles that went with land speculation, in 1788 Boone moved upriver to [[Point Pleasant, West Virginia|Point Pleasant]], Virginia (now [[West Virginia]]). There he operated a trading post and occasionally worked as a surveyor's assistant. When Virginia created [[Kanawha County, West Virginia|Kanawha County]] in 1789, Boone was appointed lieutenant colonel of the county militia. In 1791, he was elected to the Virginia legislature for the third time. He contracted to provide supplies for the Kanawha militia, but his debts prevented him from buying goods on credit, and so he closed his store and returned to hunting and trapping.

In 1795, he and Rebecca moved back to Kentucky, living in present [[Nicholas County, Kentucky|Nicholas County]] on land owned by their son Daniel Morgan Boone. The next year, Boone applied to [[Isaac Shelby]], the first governor of the new state of Kentucky, for a contract to widen the Wilderness Road into a wagon route, but the governor did not respond and the contract was awarded to someone else. Meanwhile, lawsuits over conflicting land claims continued to make their way through the Kentucky courts. Boone's remaining land claims were sold off to pay legal fees and taxes, but he no longer paid attention to the process. In 1798, a warrant was issued for Boone's arrest after he ignored a summons to testify in a court case, although the sheriff never found him. That same year Kentucky named [[Boone County, Kentucky|Boone County]] in his honor.

==Missouri==
In 1799, Boone moved out of the United States to [[Missouri]], which was then part of [[Louisiana (New Spain)|Spanish Louisiana]]. The Spanish, eager to promote settlement in the sparsely populated region, did not enforce the legal requirement that all immigrants had to be Catholics. Boone, looking to make a fresh start, emigrated with much of his extended family to what is now [[St. Charles County, Missouri|St. Charles County]]. The Spanish governor appointed Boone "syndic" (judge and jury) and commandant (military leader) of the Femme Osage district. The many anecdotes of Boone's tenure as syndic suggest that he sought to render fair judgments rather than to strictly observe the letter of the law.

Boone served as syndic and commandant until 1804, when Missouri became part of the United States following the [[Louisiana Purchase]]. Because Boone's land grants from the Spanish government had been largely based on verbal agreements, he once again lost his land claims. In 1809, he petitioned [[United States Congress|Congress]] to restore his Spanish land claims, which was finally done in 1814. Boone sold most of this land to repay old Kentucky debts. When the [[War of 1812]] came to Missouri, Boone's sons Daniel Morgan Boone and Nathan Boone took part, but by that time Boone was too old for militia duty.

[[Image:Boone by Audubon.jpg|thumb|100px|A portrait of Boone by [[John James Audubon]]]]

Boone spent his final years in Missouri, often in the company of children and grandchildren. He hunted and trapped as often as his failing health allowed. According to one story, in 1810 or later Boone went with a group on a long hunt as far west as the [[Yellowstone River]], a remarkable journey at his age, if true. Other stories of Boone around this time have him making one last visit to Kentucky in order to pay off his creditors, although some or all of these tales may be folklore. American painter [[John James Audubon]] claimed to have gone hunting with Boone in the woods of Kentucky around 1810. Years later, Audubon painted a portrait of Boone, supposedly from memory, although skeptics have noted the similarity of this painting to the well-known portraits by [[Chester Harding (painter)|Chester Harding]]. Boone's family insisted that he never returned to Kentucky after 1799, although some historians believe that Boone visited his brother Squire near Kentucky in 1810 and have therefore reported Audubon's story as factual.<ref>For Yellowstone, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 295. For doubts about Audubon's tale, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 308–10; Randell Jones, ''In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone'', 222. For historians who report Audubon's story without doubts, see Lofaro, ''American Life'', 161–66; Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 398–99.</ref>

[[Image:Boone gravesite Kentucky.jpg|thumb|left|Boone's gravesite in [[Frankfort, Kentucky]]]]

Boone died on September 26, 1820, at Nathan Boone's home on Femme Osage Creek. He was buried next to Rebecca, who had died on March 18, 1813. The graves, which were unmarked until the mid-1830s, were near Jemima (Boone) Callaway's home on Tuque Creek, about two miles (3&nbsp;km) from present day [[Marthasville, Missouri]]. In 1845, the Boones' remains were disinterred and reburied in a new cemetery in [[Frankfort, Kentucky]]. Resentment in Missouri about the disinterment grew over the years, and a legend arose that Boone's remains never left Missouri. According to this story, Boone's tombstone in Missouri had been inadvertently placed over the wrong grave, but no one had corrected the error. Boone's Missouri relatives, displeased with the Kentuckians who came to exhume Boone, kept quiet about the mistake and allowed the Kentuckians to dig up the wrong remains. There is no contemporary evidence that this actually happened, but in 1983, a [[Forensic anthropology|forensic anthropologist]] examined a crude plaster cast of Boone's skull made before the Kentucky reburial and announced that it might be the skull of an African American. Black slaves were also buried at Tuque Creek, so it is possible that the wrong remains were mistakenly removed from the crowded graveyard. Both the Frankfort Cemetery in Kentucky and the Old Bryan Farm graveyard in Missouri claim to have Boone's remains.<ref>For burial controversy, see Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 354–62; Jones, ''Footsteps'', 227–30.</ref>

Daniel Boone remains an iconic figure in American history, although his status as an early American folk hero and later as a subject of fiction has tended to obscure the actual details of his life. The general public remembers him as a hunter, pioneer, and "Indian-fighter", even if they are uncertain when he lived or exactly what he did. [[Boone|Many places]] in the United States are named for him, including the [[Daniel Boone National Forest]], the [[Sheltowee Trace Trail]], and two counties: [[Boone County, Missouri]] and [[Boone County, Kentucky]]. His name has long been synonymous with the American outdoors. For example, the [[Boone and Crockett Club]] was a conservationist organization founded by [[Theodore Roosevelt]] in 1887, and the [[Sons of Daniel Boone]] was the precursor of the [[Boy Scouts of America]].


===Emergence as a legend===
Boone emerged as a legend in large part because of [[John Filson]]'s "The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon", part of his book ''The Discovery, Settlement And present State of Kentucke''. First published in 1784, Filson's book was soon translated into French and German, and made Boone famous in America and Europe. Based on interviews with Boone, Filson's book contained a mostly factual account of Boone's adventures from the exploration of Kentucky through the American Revolution. However, because the real Boone was a man of few words, Filson invented florid, philosophical dialogue for this "autobiography". Subsequent editors cut some of these passages and replaced them with more plausible—but still spurious—ones. Often reprinted, Filson's book established Boone as one of the first popular heroes of the United States.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 4–7; Lofaro, ''American Life'', 180.</ref>


== News ==
Like John Filson, Timothy Flint also interviewed Boone, and his ''Biographical Memoir of Daniel Boone, the First Settler of Kentucky'' (1833) became one of the bestselling biographies of the 19th century. Flint greatly embellished Boone's adventures, doing for Boone what [[Parson Weems]] did for [[George Washington]]. In Flint's book, Boone fought hand-to-hand with a bear, escaped from Indians by swinging on vines (as [[Tarzan]] would later do), and so on. Although Boone's family thought the book was absurd, Flint greatly influenced the popular conception of Boone, since these tall tales were recycled in countless [[dime novel]]s and books aimed at young boys.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 323–24.</ref>
At the 2007 Comic-Con, Cartoon Network conducted a panel about the game. Many of the game's elements will be familiar to those who have previously played online role playing games (MMORPGs), such as ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. Clan/guild play is an element in the game, designated by the term "clubs". The game also has large playable environments, though in order to aim the game at a younger audience, travel time is relatively short where playable content is concerned. Instead, adventures will be available almost anywhere in-game. Elements of class play will be included and player versus player action is being considered. However, while this is a [[PC game]], play will function more like a [[console game]]. Another news that was recently announced was that this was going to be BROWSER BASED. So there will be no big patches and no game client download. People who might've lost faith into this game should not be afraid. This is because they partnered up with a company called Unity and that are amazing at 3D grapical work. This can be proved by going to their offical website.


== Gameplay ==
Much of Daniel Boone's life was written about by [[William Henry Bogart]] in his book ''Daniel Boone and the hunters of Kentucky''.
Once a design is established for an Avatar, it can have its clothes and weapon changed. Whether anything else can be changed is still unknown. Confirmed weapons are swords, guns, guitars, and projectiles.


A key part of the game are Nanos, or miniaturized versions of the CN characters. These characters are collectible and hover next to the player when called. Certain Nano's give certain powers, for instance [[Mojo Jojo]] helps a player run quickly,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnDFYoJ7u1E YouTube - Broadcast Yourself<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> while Mandark makes a player jump higher. When on a mission a player may only take 3 Nanos, but when on a team, Nano's powers can be shared. Other Nano powers may help heal, one such is Eduardo, and some may contribute in combat, like Fourarms. It was also recently known that Planet Fusion made Doppelgangers of the cartoonnetwork characters,and they were named 'Fusions.' To obtain a nano, you must defeat the doppelgangers of the character. This was later proven at the fanmade trailer Fusionfaller1 made. He seems to have been acepted into the beta test, which he posted in his fan made trailer. It was seen him fighting a doppelganger of Number two of KND and edwardo of fosters home of imaginary friends.[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7BxUNJSsQl4&feature=related]<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO29wKGRG18&feature=related YouTube - Broadcast Yourself<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Fusion Fall will NOT include classes but have its own unique way. Instead the player will follow a cirtain NPCS (Ben 10, Samurai Jack, etc)and will do missions to improve thier skills. For example, you might follow Samurai Jack to become a swordsman, but this is yet to be comfirmed.
===Symbol and stereotype===
<!-- [[Image:Cole Thomas Daniel Boone Sitting at the Door of His Cabin on the Great Osage Lake Kentucky 1826.jpg|thumb|[[Thomas Cole]]'s ''Daniel Boone Sitting at the Door of His Cabin on the Great Osage Lake'' (1826) reflected a popular image of Boone's rejection of "civilized" society.]] -->


Missions are assigned by different CN characters located in the middle of the cardboard fortress, which was the shows' protagonists response to the invasion. Characters seen here may vary, but those that are confirmed are Mac, Ben, and Dexter, though one of the Ed's houses were seen inside the base. Some missions might be to "deslime" an area, or rid it of the goo from Planet Fusion.
Thanks to Filson's book, in Europe Boone became a symbol of the "natural man" who lives a virtuous, uncomplicated existence in the wilderness. This was most famously expressed in [[George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron|Lord Byron's]] epic poem ''[[Don Juan (Byron)|Don Juan]]'' (1822), which devoted a number of stanzas to Boone, including this one:
Boss battles will be included somewhere within the game. {{Fact|date=August 2008}} Whether Ben at his original age will be replaced by his older version hasn't been said.
:Of the great names which in our faces stare,
::The General Boon, back-woodsman of Kentucky,
:Was happiest amongst mortals any where;
::For killing nothing but a bear or buck, he
:Enjoyed the lonely vigorous, harmless days
:Of his old age in wilds of deepest maze.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 328.</ref>

Byron's poem celebrated Boone as someone who found happiness by turning his back on civilization. In a similar vein, many folk tales depicted Boone as a man who migrated to more remote areas whenever civilization crowded in on him. In a typical anecdote, when asked why he was moving to Missouri, Boone supposedly replied, "I want more elbow room!" Boone rejected such an interpretation of his life, however. "Nothing embitters my old age," he said late in life, like "the circulation of absurd stories that I retire as civilization advances…."<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 302, 325–26.</ref>

Existing simultaneously with the image of Boone as a refugee from society was, paradoxically, the popular portrayal of him as civilization's trailblazer. Boone was celebrated as an agent of [[Manifest Destiny]], a pathfinder who tamed the wilderness, paving the way for the extension of American civilization. In 1852, critic [[Henry Tuckerman]] dubbed Boone "the Columbus of the woods", comparing Boone's passage through the Cumberland Gap to [[Christopher Columbus]]'s voyage to the New World. In popular mythology, Boone became the first to explore and settle Kentucky, opening the way for countless others to follow. In fact, other Americans had explored and settled Kentucky before Boone, as debunkers in the 20th century often pointed out, but Boone came to symbolize them all, making him what historian Michael Lofaro called "the [[founding fathers of the United States|founding father]] of westward expansion".<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 321–22, 350–52; Lofaro, ''American Life'', 181–82.</ref>

[[Image:Daniel Boone protects his family.jpg|thumb|left|This 1874 lithograph entitled "Daniel Boone protects his family" is a representative image of Boone as an Indian fighter.]]

In the 19th century, when Native Americans were being [[Indian removal|displaced from their lands]] and confined on [[Indian reservation|reservations]], Boone's image was often reshaped into the stereotype of the belligerent, Indian-hating frontiersman which was then popular. In John A. McClung's ''Sketches of Western Adventure'' (1832), for example, Boone was portrayed as longing for the "thrilling excitement of savage warfare." Boone was transformed in the popular imagination into someone who regarded Indians with contempt and had killed scores of the "savages". The real Boone disliked bloodshed, however. According to historian John Bakeless, there is no record that Boone ever scalped Indians, unlike other frontiersmen of the era. Boone once told his son Nathan that he was certain of having killed only one Indian, during the battle at Blue Licks, although he believed that others may have died from his bullets in other battles. Even though Boone had lost two sons in wars with Indians, he respected Indians and was respected by them. In Missouri, Boone often went hunting with the very Shawnees who had captured and adopted him decades earlier. Some 19th century writers regarded Boone's sympathy for Indians as a character flaw and therefore altered his words to conform to contemporary attitudes.<ref>Bakeless, ''Master of the Wilderness'', 162–62; Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 39, 86, 219, 313, 320, 333.</ref>

===Fiction===
Boone's adventures, real and mythical, formed the basis of the archetypal hero of the American West, popular in 19th century novels and 20th century films. The main character of [[James Fenimore Cooper]]'s [[Leatherstocking Tales]], the first of which was published in 1823, bore striking similarities to Boone; even his name, Nathaniel Bumppo, echoed Daniel Boone's name. As mentioned above, ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'' (1826), Cooper's second Leatherstocking novel, featured a fictionalized version of Boone's rescue of his daughter. After Cooper, other writers developed the Western hero, an iconic figure which began as a variation of Daniel Boone.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 330–33.</ref>

In the 20th century, Boone was featured in numerous comic strips, radio programs, and films, where the emphasis was usually on action and melodrama rather than historical accuracy. These are little remembered today; probably the most noteworthy is the 1936 film ''Daniel Boone'', with [[George O'Brien (actor)|George O'Brien]] playing the title role. Audiences of the "[[baby boomer]]" generation are more familiar with the ''[[Daniel Boone (TV series)|Daniel Boone]]'' television series, which ran from 1964 to 1970. In the popular theme song for the series, Boone was described as a "big man" in a "coonskin cap", and the "rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man the frontier ever knew!"<ref>The complete lyrics of the song can be found [http://www.danielboonetv.com/themesong.html online].</ref> This did not describe the real Daniel Boone, who was not a big man and did not wear a [[coonskin cap]]. Boone was portrayed this way because [[Fess Parker]], the tall actor who played Boone, was essentially reprising his role as [[Davy Crockett]] from an earlier TV series. That Boone could be portrayed as a Crockett, another American frontiersman with a very different persona, was another example of how Boone's image could be reshaped to suit popular tastes.<ref>Faragher, ''Daniel Boone'', 338–39, 362; Lofaro, ''American Life'', 180.</ref>

Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall is the working title for a massively multiplayer online game currently in production. It is being developed by Cartoon Network and Grigon Entertainment and will contain features related to Cartoon Network programs. There will be free game play but Cartoon Network isn't announcing all the details just yet. Details about cost will be revealed at a later date. It was scheduled to be released in Summer 2008, but since April 19, 2008 they have changed the opening to Fall of 2008.

Plot

Planet Fusion has traveled throughout the galaxy for millennia in which devastated countless planets and civilizations, and the next target will be the planet Earth, specifically the Cartoon Network universe. Now the player (which is an original avatar determined by the user) must subscribe and with a few helping hands, that force can be destroyed.

Characters from various Cartoon Network shows appear in the game, redesigned in an anime style by Mario F. Piedra. In addition, small, miniaturized versions of Cartoon Network characters are collected along the way and travel with players, providing powers and abilities to assist during missions. There will also be a manga tie-in, co-written by Matthew Schwartz and Piedra. Soon in Fall, people found out that Cartoon Network partnered with two other companies. One company was making the game browserbased, and the other company made a new security system. This made Fusion Fall delayed to the end of 2008, December. The official date is yet to be announced.

At the 2007 Comic-Con, Cartoon Network conducted a panel about the game. Many of the game's elements will be familiar to those who have previously played online role playing games (MMORPGs), such as World of Warcraft. Clan/guild play is an element in the game, designated by the term "clubs". The game also has large playable environments, though in order to aim the game at a younger audience, travel time is relatively short where playable content is concerned. Instead, adventures will be available almost anywhere in-game. Elements of class play will be included and player versus player action is being considered. However, while this is a PC game, play will function more like a console game. Another news that was recently announced was that this was going to be BROWSER BASED. So there will be no big patches and no game client download. People who might've lost faith into this game should not be afraid. This is because they partnered up with a company called Unity and that are amazing at 3D grapical work. This can be proved by going to their offical website.

Gameplay

Once a design is established for an Avatar, it can have its clothes and weapon changed. Whether anything else can be changed is still unknown. Confirmed weapons are swords, guns, guitars, and projectiles.

A key part of the game are Nanos, or miniaturized versions of the CN characters. These characters are collectible and hover next to the player when called. Certain Nano's give certain powers, for instance Mojo Jojo helps a player run quickly,[2] while Mandark makes a player jump higher. When on a mission a player may only take 3 Nanos, but when on a team, Nano's powers can be shared. Other Nano powers may help heal, one such is Eduardo, and some may contribute in combat, like Fourarms. It was also recently known that Planet Fusion made Doppelgangers of the cartoonnetwork characters,and they were named 'Fusions.' To obtain a nano, you must defeat the doppelgangers of the character. This was later proven at the fanmade trailer Fusionfaller1 made. He seems to have been acepted into the beta test, which he posted in his fan made trailer. It was seen him fighting a doppelganger of Number two of KND and edwardo of fosters home of imaginary friends.[3][3] Fusion Fall will NOT include classes but have its own unique way. Instead the player will follow a cirtain NPCS (Ben 10, Samurai Jack, etc)and will do missions to improve thier skills. For example, you might follow Samurai Jack to become a swordsman, but this is yet to be comfirmed.

Missions are assigned by different CN characters located in the middle of the cardboard fortress, which was the shows' protagonists response to the invasion. Characters seen here may vary, but those that are confirmed are Mac, Ben, and Dexter, though one of the Ed's houses were seen inside the base. Some missions might be to "deslime" an area, or rid it of the goo from Planet Fusion. Boss battles will be included somewhere within the game. [citation needed] Whether Ben at his original age will be replaced by his older version hasn't been said.
