Daniel Boone - Master of the Wilderness (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
The first complete life of Boone, with documentary source material
as the basis for a thoroughgoing job. There are a few legends
smashed, and traditional anecdotes questioned, and there is a good
sense of Boone's historical importance imparted. Boone's search for
"elbow room" that lead him into continual trouble with land grants
of little value, his value as an explorer, surveyor, frontier
settler and Indian fighter, the esteem in which he was held and his
long life which was filled, from beginning to end with adventure.
It's good Americana, authentic pioneer material and worthwhile as a
definitive work on the subject. (Kirkus Reviews)
In his introduction to this edition of "Daniel Boone: Master of the
Wilderness," Michael A. Lofaro, a professor of English at the
University of Tennessee and the author of "The Life and Adventures
of Daniel Boone," assesses John Bakeless's achievement: "After
fifty years his is still the standard by which all other
biographies of the frontiersman are judged."
