Finding Daniel Boone (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Follow the final days of an American frontier icon as a historian examines what happened to him after he died. Finding Daniel Boone is a unique tribute to America's frontier hero and offers closure to the greatest of all his mysteries: where he was buried. Part biography, part historical travelogue, and eloquently narrated using fresh sources, rare forensic data, and new field interviews, this is more than just a search for a man's bones. Fully re-creating Daniel's lost world, noted historian and author Ted Franklin Belue journeys along the famous Pathfinder's last trail, from Missouri and back to Kentucky, meeting a host of colorful characters. As little has been written about Boone's western days, where he lived the longest, this work examines the legendary woodsman's life as much as his death. "With vivid writing, and ample historic documentation, Ted Franklin Belue invites readers on an incredible journey that introduces them to a new slant on an old story about one of the greatest American frontier heroes. Belue tirelessly re-creates Boone's lost world and follows his last trail in the year of his death's bicentennial, teasing us with a provocative question: Where does Daniel Boone rest, in Missouri or Kentucky?" -KYForward
