Daniel Boone is celebrated in history and legend as one of the foremost pioneers who opened up the wilderness of Kentucky. Famed for his skills as a hunter, he was once captured and adopted by the Shawnee tribe from which he ultimately escaped. He was active in the militia and fought in several battles of the American Revolution. In later life he became a politician, being elected to Virginia state assembly, and land speculator, eventually settling in Missouri.
This biography is written for youth in a lively and engaging style dramatizing many of the events of Boone’s adventures, from his youth to his final days.

Early American Hero & Founding Father
NanaW/15Littles
Well written with a great degree of detail adding to the understanding of the lives of his family and how their living conditions and lifestyle. Good background and documentation of Boone’s entire lifetime. So much historical background of his early life, family origin and travels. Gives you a much greater understanding of this man and his family who contributed so much in shaping our nation. He truly is an early American trail blazer with boundless courage and love for the natural beauty of the Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee… I believe he’s an underrated American founder and hero.
