Unexplored, wild land beckoned young Daniel Boone (1734-1820). As a teenager, he hunted and sold beaver skins. As a family man, he trekked through uncharted territory in the Kentucky wilderness, blazing the Wilderness Road and founding the settlement of Boonesborough. With wit and bravery, this frontiersman and natural leader persevered through confrontations with Indians, British soldiers, and fellow settlers, pushing America’s borders west and establishing himself as a national legend. Now Heroes of History for Young Readers makes Daniel Boone’s remarkable story available in this picture book all ages will treasure.
