This is an excellent, though not extremely detailed accounting of the adventures of Daniel Boone. Filson was a pioneer beside Boone after the establishment of the settlement at Fort Boonesboro in Kentucky, and though the account was written from the perspective of Boone, it is not stylized and seems to be a very good accounting as if Boone were relating the story directly and merely being written by Filson. There are probably better books with more actual research and facts, histories, but it is definitely worth reading the words from a man who lived the times.

COL BOON

Interesting account of some very fierce times in American history. Our ancestors are certainly worthy of our admiration for the difficult times they had to endure and that goes for the Indians as well as the Americans. There were brave men on all sides and women also.
