Scouting With Daniel Boone

This story illustration appeared in Boys�' Life with the serialized historical novel on the life of the early American Pioneer, Daniel Boone. The Boy Scouts had been chartered in the United States only three years before and, founded by an Englishman, were eager to establish connections with the heroes of American History, such as the early scout Boone. Early in Norman Rockwell��s career, many of his illustrations were printed in black and white, as four- or full-color printing remained expensive. Rockwell often painted these illustrations en grisaille, painting monochromatically in gray or sepia tones.
