Boone: A Biography

Summary

An Oprah’s Book Club selection, Robert Morgan’s Gap Creek was also a phenomenal New York Times bestseller. Here Morgan turns his talent to chronicling the life of American frontier legend Daniel Boone.

Often obscured by myth and folklore, Daniel Boone is as fascinating a character as any other American son. His exploits as a hunter and trapper are known the world round, but many fail to recognize his skills as a statesman or his membership in the Masonic Order. He was also a man of great hope—a dreamer who envisioned harmony between the white man and American Indians—and much of his life was spent fighting for the ideals he strived to live up to.

A loving and comprehensive tribute, Boone carves its own niche among scholarly works about this American icon.
