Daniel Boone may seem like an unlikely companion to ginseng but he was an avid ginseng collector. In 1787 he started up the Ohio river in a boat containing nearly 15 tons of ginseng. The boat overturned and he lost it all. Undismayed, he returned and collected another boat load by the next year. He made more money from ginseng than any other commodity! |
