It's possible that ole Daniel used the horn even earlier. Illustrations of British riflemen of the 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps (the old Royal Americans) and the 95th Rifle Brigade shows them wearing both a priming flask and a powder horn (as well as a cartridge box). The former (5/60) was raised in 1797 and the latter a few years later.However, I was not allowed to examine the horn for markings and its provenance was not known by my guide other than "It came down from the Boone family." Perhaps someone can follow-up on this and speak with a curator at the site and arrange for some pictures for us?
