In the first and most reliable biography of Daniel Boone in more than fifty years, award-winning historian Faragher brilliantly portrays America's famous frontier hero. Drawing from popular narrative, the public record, scraps of documentation from Boone's own hand, and a treasure of reminiscence gathered by nineteenth-century antiquarians, Faragher uses the methods of new social history to create a portrait of the man and the times he helped shape. Blending themes from a much vitalized Western and frontier history with the words and ideas of ordinary people, Faragher has produced a book that will stand as the definitive life of Daniel Boone for decades to come, and one that illuminates the frontier world of Boone like no other.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Holt PaperbacksISBN-13:9780805030075ISBN-10:805030077UPC:9780805030075Book Category:Biography & Autobiography, HistoryBook Subcategory:Historical, United StatesBook Topic:Revolutionary Period (1775-1800)Size:9.10 x 6.10 x 1.20 inchesWeight:1.1001Product ID:SC7WP5XMTD
