The Story f Daniel Boone
Just finished reading "The Story of Daniel Boone" by William Cunningham, published by Scholastic Books back in 1964.
For those who have come in late, I decided a few years back to begin what I call my "Great Re-Reading of My Favorite Books When I was Young" project.
I first remembered seeing "The Story of Daniel Boone" in the monthly magazine flyer from Scholastic Books that was given out in class at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School back at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina during the 1960s and early 1970s. And yes, for those faithful readers of these reviews, my teacher at the time objected again to me getting this book. Now keep in mind that this way before the religious cult of Wokeism had come about, and I don't think the importance of the legacy of Daniel Boone has been attacked recently, but I could be wrong. Daniel Boone is still an admirable explorer for me.
If I'm remembering the teacher's objection was that it wasn't the typical type of book I usually read. And yes, Mom and Dad had to intervene again over my choices of my reading.
As usual, I obtained my reading copy from Chamblin Book Mine - the best bookstore in the entire Eastern United States.
William Cunningham adapted this abridged version from his "The Real Book of Daniel Boone.
Daniel Boone is a compelling man because he represents the best of the everyman who yearning to explore new horizons is inspirational and aspiring and his story encourages people to explore and reach beyond themselves with each triumph and tragedy. Cunningham wrote a compelling biography of Boone that still rings true today.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
