The story of Daniel Boone is the story of America--its ideals, its
promise, its romance, and its destiny. Bestselling, critically acclaimed
author Robert Morgan reveals the complex character of a frontiersman
whose heroic life was far stranger and more fascinating than the myths
that surround him.
This rich, authoritative biography offers a wholly new perspective on a
man who has been an American icon for more than two hundred years--a
hero as important to American history as his more political
contemporaries George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Extensive
endnotes, cultural and historical background material, and maps and
illustrations underscore the scope of this distinguished and immensely
entertaining work.
