A quote from Nathan Boone about Edward's death:
"I am quite certain my father (Daniel Boone) and his brother (Edward) went to hunt buffalo meat. I think from the locality it was most likely the Upper Blue Licks where they had been. They had their horses loaded with buffalo meat and stopped at the lick, probably for a rest. They were probably leading their horse or horses and had been just stopped a very few minutes, with the lick close at hand. While Father was cracking some black walnuts, Edward saw a deer enter the lick, and stole up and shot the deer and dragged the carcass into the shade nearby. Some Indians who had probably been watching the lick from a canebrake (caneobrake (kEn2brEk1) n. 1. A dense thicket of cane.) Then shot Edward dead.
My father then jumped on a horse and attempted to throw off the load of meat, but the Indians rushed him, so that he had to abandon the horse and dash off into the canebrake. In the bustle he lost his large, cheap, one-bladed pocketknife, which he had in his hand picking out walnut meats, which probably fell into the creek. The Indians chased him into the cane. The Indians had a dog, and Father shot twice at him. Once or twice the dog ran back, and the Indians would sic him on Father again. Finally he shot the dog, and he was confident the Indians never followed him any farther. I think it was two or three miles that the Indians and their dog chased him, and that the entire distance was a canebrake.
In 1822 some people found this knife with 'D. Boone' and the year it was purchased engraved on the handle. It was sent to me, and in 1842 I gave it to Dr. Edward Macomb of the U.S. Army, who wished to deposit it in some eastern museum. The doctor was raised in New York City and was probably a brother of General Macomb. He settled there to practice and since died. Judge Roberts I Kentucky says the knife is in the historic cabinet at Washington.
In consequence of Edward Boone's being killed, that is how Boone Creek and Boone's Lick received their names."
