    I live 40ish minutes from the Daniel Boone National Forest and about an hour from the Daniel Boone Tavern so it’s almost like I gotta vote for him.

    If not for the above, I’d go Lewis and Clark because there was once a movie theater named after them near SeaTac. I’m 99% Lewis and Clark built the bowling alley portion before heading back east.

    That was our family go to theater

    When Lewis and Clark built it

    The Lewis and Clark is where my dad took my brothers and me to see Uncommon Valor and then walked right into a Dirty Harry movie in the next screening room without paying. 10 year me thought it was the greatest thing ever.
    And you still steal nachos to this day. Lessons learned young...

    Hey Stalin! Why wasn't she a choice? I know I want to explore her frontier.

    Daniel Boone
    After much thought, I finally pulled the trigger for Daniel Boone. Without him, the others may not have happened. Building the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap was mega significant for westward expansion.


    Robert Gray was included because without him, the United States would never have had a claim to any of the Pacific Coast.

    One could argue that since Election Day, they still don't.

    Couldn’t decide so I just wanted to write in a couple others. Liver-Eating Johnson whom the film Jeremiah Johnson was based on (sorry @Swaye) and Hugh Glass. Survive a bear attack and then pop off
