Squire Boone enlarged his farm by thrift.

He continued at his trade of weaving and kept five or six looms going, making homespun cloth for the market and his neighbors.
Daniel's father owned grazing grounds several miles north of the homestead and each season he sent his stock to the range.

Sarah Boone and her little Daniel drove the cows.

From early spring till late autumn, mother and son lived in a rustic cabin alone on the frontier.

A rude dairy house stood over a cool spring, and here Sarah Boone made her butter and cheese.
