What They Traded to Stay Alive on the Frontier: Out here on the edge of the known world, coin didn't mean much. This is the story of what did. Frontier survival often meant sacrificing something you cared deeply about, like a weapon, food, or even your boots.

In this episode of Frontier Legends, we follow the trail carved by Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap - a path known as the Wilderness Road. Before banks. Before paper money. There were Frontier Trading Posts, fur bundles, and faith-based deals. Folks traded blankets for shelter, fiddles for coats, and even a man's last boots for a bottle of whiskey. Barter wasn't a choice - it was the way of life.
