In the report, Hartley wrote that his analysis and historical comparison strongly indicate that “this stone is the top stone of ‘Boone Rock,’ an iconic monument that originated in Davidson County at Boone’s Cave in 1909.”
Among the most notable features of the stone is the inscription of “D. BOONe,” an inscription Hartley described as “quite likely original” in the conclusion of his report. The stone also features two additional inscriptions, “GLENN MOCK” and “J. BEN STEADMAN,” markings that Hartley and Tappe posit in the report could be a form of vandalism dating back to the early 1920s.
