I live not too far from where Ol' Dan'l is supposed to have killed that one, which he called a "Yahoo" as I recall. He got that name from "Gulliver's Travels". This is the first I've heard of it having supposedly attacked his son, however. I know his son James was killed a few miles south of here at Wallen's Ridge in 1773 I believe - but he was killed by Indians.
From what I understand about the story Boone and his son were returning from tracking indian horse thieves. They were separated by a short distance on the return journey to hunt. Boone heard a shot, then another and took to the scene whereupon he witnessed his son being lifted and thrown lifeless to the ground.
A well aimed shot to the eye by Boone took the big critter out. Boone thought his son was deceased. The lad recovered/woke up about an hour later.
It appears from an impromptu autopsy the boy managed to hit the creature in the chest but the slug didn't penetrate that area due to how solid the chest was. They left the big ape where it was slain and returned to tell the tale.
That's a recount off the top of my head.
Kind regards,
