CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Quote from “The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boone” by John Filson (1784)

“Thus situated, many hundred miles from our families in the howling wilderness, I believe few would have equally enjoyed the happiness we experienced.  I often observed to my brother, you see now how little nature requires to be satisfied.  Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatsoever state he is.  This consists in full resignation to the will of Providence; and a resigned soul finds pleasure in a path stewed with briars and thorns.”
MOLESKIN:
Boone’s first foray into Kentucky included the discovery of beautiful land and bountiful hunting, his and his parties capture by Natives, his escape, the murder of the other party members, and his chance meeting with / rescue by his brother in the wilderness.  All of that happened in the span of about 6-9 months, and even after all of that – his memory of the events centered around the quote above.
