"Comprehensive and deeply sympathetic. The thoroughness and authority of [this biography of Daniel Boone] are beyond dispute." —Washington Post Book World
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.
"[An] absorbing and stirring chronicle of the great frontiersman . . . outstanding." —Booklist
"Boone comes fully alive in [these] pages. Morgan's objectivity gives us a completely realized man, the greatest pioneer of the Trans-Appalachian west." —Publishers Weekly
"With Mr. Morgan as biographer, Boone definitely lucked out . . . Stunning." —The Dallas Morning News
