Daniel Boone's story from this celebrated author of over forty adventure novels.
Daniel Boone's Life was marked by destiny and contradiction. Born of Quaker stock, he was peace-loving, yet a celebrated warrior. Sympathetic to the natives of America, and in ways more like them than his own people, he became trailblazer for the aggressive white civilization. Devoted to family, he spent long months apart, leaving his resilient wife to fend for herself and their children. Inclined by temperament to mind his own affairs, he was called into leadership and responsibility at every phase of his life. He was landed and frequently impoverished. Trusted by those who knew him, he was also often criticized, and even courts-martialed by neighbors and peers, In this imaginative and expansive recounting of the most pivotal years of the Boone.
