like john filson, timothy flint also interviewed boone, and his "biographical memoir of daniel boone, the first settler of kentucky" (1833) became one of the best-selling biographies of the 19th century. flint greatly embellished boone's adventures, doing for boone what parson weems did for george washington. in flint's book, boone fought hand-to-paw with a bear, escaped from indians by swinging on vines (as tarzan would later do), and so on. although boone's family thought the book was absurd, flint greatly influenced the popular conception of boone, since these tall tales were recycled in countless dime novels and books aimed at young boys.
