[Darcy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was on our shelf because it is a pretty book for decorating and is vintage looking. I never thought to read it until my son randomly read it one day. Fast forward a year later and I am mesmerized by the time of the frontier days as America was settling and wondered if this could keep me in the timeframe. It did. A little earlier tho—1734-1820 (to when Boone died). Never knew he settled Kentucky and also his adventures against the British. Interesting to learn but just as a history piece. The book itself was written to just explain a piece of biography so not a great read. Good to understand more of the time period tho and who Daniel Boone was!
