From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
I must say, the title of this article itself intrigued me and piqued my interest.

I am a nephew of Daniel Boone. My mother's maiden name was Boone. It was an emotional discovery to realize God had positioned me in a small town where part of my history was waiting to be discovered. I later found out...(continue reading)
