DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Instant New York Times Besteller National Bestseller "[The] authors’ finest work to date." —Wall Street Journal The explosive true saga of the legendary figure Daniel Boone and the bloody struggle for America's frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power—Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the thirteen colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North America’s “First Frontier” beyond the Appalachian Mountains commence a series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, the French, and the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world. This is the setting of Blood and Treasure, and the guide to this epic narrative is America’s first and arguably greatest pathfinder, Daniel Boone—not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women who witnessed it. This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over America’s “First Frontier” that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDraper, the first secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, collected more than 500 volumes of material on the famed frontiersman Daniel Boone.

This long-awaited work is filled with little-known information on Boone and his family, long hunters, the Shawnee, the fur trade, and frontier life in general.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen the Atlantic seaboard was winning its Revolution against England, and the new West, undecided which camp to join, hung back, one mane stood out among the scattered handful of pioneers who were opening the great road to the plains… …a stirring blend of biography, Americana, and history restoring in complete, human, authentic detail one of the most thrilling stories in our American past. In pages as exciting as an old dime novel, John Bakeless introduces to us all Daniel Boone—trapper, Indian fighter, contact to the forest people, surveyor of the Dark and Bloody Ground, law-giver to unruly frontier settlers, pathfinder, hunter… a figure already half-legendary in his own time. To explore the legend and recreate reality is John Bakeless’s achievement in this unmatched adult biography of a man and an era. Drawing upon much hitherto unpublished material, he sorts fact and fancy to provide this documented portrait…and at the same time, a stirring chronicle that captures the spirit of these uniquely America, heroic decades.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe new and substantially revised 2nd edition of In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone tells the life story of America's pioneer hero by putting his life on the landscape, taking the readers to 100 places spread across 11 states from Pennsylvania to Missouri and from Michigan to Florida (yes, Florida!) where they can see markers, monuments, plaques, historic homes, replica forts, and statues that commemorate events of his life. The second edition is a solid arm-chair read illustrated with 150 photographic images captured at historical reenactments during the last 20 years, with another 160 images and all the location information found in a 60-page appendix with additional commentary. The narrative is the immersive, historical storytelling that non-fiction readers want. The appendix provides the information history buffs want to see the sites for themselves. The first edition went out of print when the publisher retired in 2017. This new and greatly enhanced second edition becomes available in time for the 250th anniversary of Boone Trace in 2025. Market hunter, wilderness scout, frontier guide, master woodsman, expert marksman, militia leader, surveyor, land speculator, judge, sheriff, coroner, elected legislator, merchant, tavern keeper, prisoner of war, Spanish syndic, son, brother, husband, father-Daniel Boone led one of the fullest and most eventful lives in American history. Showcasing 100 sites stretching across 11 states, In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone takes readers to the places where Boone lived, hunted, fought, and dreamed of the next frontier. You'll find the sites where two of Boone's sons were slain by warriors, where he rescued his kidnapped daughter from Shawnee captors, where his brother was killed by Shawnees who mistook him for Boone, where he tricked a British governor, and where he was court-martialed on charges of treason. In David, Kentucky, you'll visit the hollow where Daniel Boone saw his first buffalo. At Fort Boonesborough State Park, you'll learn how his courage and cunning defeated a Shawnee siege. From Cumberland Gap, you can follow the 1775 Boone Trace which helped usher in a quarter-million settlers into Kentucky along the later Wilderness Road. And in Pennsylvania and Missouri, you'll see the homes where he was born into and departed this world-a thousand miles, 86 years, and a legendary life apart.
