Although the etymology of the name of Julius Caesar is not known with certainty, many scholars believe that it was simply a use of the Latin expression caesar meaning hairy.t derives from the cognomen of Julius Caesar, the Roman dictator.

Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia but on the other side of the mountains from the settled areas. As a young adult Boone supplemented his farm income by hunting and trapping game, and selling their pelts in the fur market.
The namesake of the town of Boone, NC, and a scattering of other places is often portrayed in a heroic light as synonymous with the pioneering spirit. But the man himself was a study in contrasts, according to John Mack Faragher, a Yale history professor and Daniel Boones most comprehensive biographer. Boone was born in Pennsylvania in 1734 and was raised as a Quaker. He started hunting in his early teens and in 1751 he became a full time hunter when his family moved to the Yadkin River Valley in what is now Rowan County. Boone married Rebecca Bryan in 1756 and served with British troops in the French and Indian War. Boone is believed to have made his first visit to the North Carolina mountains in the winter of 1760, hunting from a cabin used by animal herders. Boone, though he raised a large family, was solitary by nature and often preferred to go on extended hunting trips alone.
