Daniel Boone

He walked into legend and never quite walked back out. Daniel Boone was the man who knew Kentucky when it was still wilderness, when maps ended at the Appalachians and everything beyond was promise and peril. This is his story, told for young readers who love adventure. Boone spent decades pushing into the unmapped territories of early America. He fought wars, got captured, escaped, and warned settlements of incoming attacks. When Cherokee warriors kidnapped his daughter, he tracked them through hundreds miles of forest and brought her home. When Shawnees took him prisoner, he slipped away in the night to save the settlers of Boonesborough. The wilderness was his home, and he survived it through cunning, persistence, and sheer refusal to quit. This book captures the raw courage and rough justice of the frontier. It's for readers who want to meet the real man behind the myth, who crossed rivers and mountains while the country watched and wondered if he'd ever come back.
