Critic reviews

"[An] absorbing and stirring chronicle of the great frontiersman." ( Booklist, starred review)

Fascinating story!

The author places Boone in the greater context of the huge upheaval that was going on in the 18th century American colonies and early republic. It makes for a compelling portrayal but the writing style is often too florid and grandiose for a historical account. Well worth the 20 hours of listening though.

Very Revealing.

This book helps to fill out the legend and the reality of the man beyond the Fess Parker image I grew up on.

Editing?

Good book but I’m my opinion it could have used some more editing. It began to drag as it repetitively went on about Boone’s money problems and lack of properly registering deeds.

Entertaining listen

Great narrator and there is a very clear narrative, fascinating and exciting life story!

Very good historical biography.

We’ll written, researched and performed. I enjoyed this book very much. Very close to five stars.
