The 1960s Daniel Boone series starring Fess Parker had been a commercial success but was often mocked for its historical inaccuracies. The makers of "Young Dan'l Boone" sought to be more realistic. The series was shot on location in the Appalachian Mountains near where the real Daniel Boone grew up. The plots were based more on actual events. But the show had poor ratings and was soon canceled.
