Van Daniel Boone 1814 – 1871
Boone was a grandson of frontiersman Daniel Boone. He was born in Howard County, Missouri, and lived in Jackson County Missouri before coming to Pueblo County with his brother Albert Gallatin Boone, in about 1860. They settled on a ranch, and the town of Boone was named after them. Albert Gallatin Boone had been a licensed Indian trader before coming to the Pueblo area and later was a government Indian agent. Van Daniel, who remained on the ranch, died from pneumonia on March 4, 1871, at the age of 57.
