Reuben Gold Thwaites, the great editor of frontier documents, traces Daniel Boone from his Pennsylvania Quaker ancestry and boyhood to his years as a hunter on the Yadkin in North Carolina. He follows Boone through border warfare, his long hunts alone in the Kentucky wilderness, the founding of Boonesborough and his captivity among the Shawnee.
A reliable, readable life of the frontiersman, though its view of Native Americans is that of 1902. Download the free EPUB.
