Boone: A Biography

Not only does Daniel Boone come vividly alive in these pages but also his wilderness landscape and historical era... Robert Morgan has long been one of America's best fiction writers and poets; Boone is a striking confirmation that he is now one of our best biographers as well.

Robert Morgan's account makes it clear why every generation has been able to draw its own lessons from Boone's remarkable life. Lord knows there are some lessons in it for our own time.

Wow. Boone is a pleasure. I wish more first-rate novelist-poets wrote biography. Robert Morgan has given us the man himself, so much more interesting and impressive than all the myths about him.

A beautifully written biography of American scout Daniel Boone as a frontier Moses, leading his people over the western mountains to the rich promised lands of Kentucky... Strongly recommended.

Boone comes fully alive in [these] pages. Morgan's objectivity gives us a completely realized man.
