Near the end of July 1770, his faithful brother Chap. XLI. came back to meet him at the old camp. Shortly after they proceeded together to Cumberland River, giving names to the different waters; and he then returned to his wife and children; fixed in his purpose at the risk of life and fortune to bring them as soon as possible to live in Kentucky, which he esteemed a second Paradise. For the authentication of the whole of this account of Boone, compare his Autobiography dictated by him in 1784, and first publi
